However, she couldnt shake the feeling that this wasnt the end of it.

Glancing back at Gary, she found he had already averted his gaze, lowered his head, and walked away.

It was evident he didnt want to continue the conversation.

Perhaps he should have spoken his mind earlier.

Gary departed with a complex expression.

His thoughts were spinning in a whirlwind. He didnt like Adams, and he resented the fact that the Tribe Chief favored Adams. Every time Adams was around, the Tribe Chief seemed to make decisions that harmed the clansmen and even herself. Adams treated the Tribe Chief poorly, constantly teasing her.

The Tribe Chief appeared to have forgotten about Adams entirely. She had no intention of mentioning him again, and Gary didnt want to disrupt the current peace. This was the best outcome.

Although Gary felt a twinge of worry, he also felt a sense of relief.

Gu Chaoyan watched Garys departure and surmised what was on his mind. But she was Gu Chaoyan, not the Tribe Chief, and she had no intention of revisiting that chapter.

Gu Chaoyan continued to ponder something.

Soon

A clan member approached to invite her to join the meal. The women in the clan had prepared food in the modest surroundings.

The men in the clan had little energy left for hunting. They primarily subsisted on wild vegetables, stored in various battered bowls. Each bowl had a unique shape, some deeper, some shallower.

As she ate, Gu Chaoyan scrutinized the bowls closely.

These bowls were likely not broken, or at least not solely broken. It was simply a testament to their limitations they could only do so much, and most of their attempts had ended in partial success.

These bowls were crafted by a specific individual in the clan. Ordinarily, there wasnt much time for cooking, so the bowl maker often pitched in with other tasks.

Gu Chaoyan held a certain disapproval for such bowls.

She considered that after taking care of immediate matters, she would personally instruct the clan members on how to craft better bowls and strive to produce a few that werent cracked.

Though she contemplated this, she didnt voice her thoughts.

At present, the introduction of bamboo houses and bows had already created a considerable commotion within the clan. Some matters couldnt be rushed; instead, they needed to be gradually accepted.

Tribe Chief, please eat more, a clan member earnestly suggested.

Of course, Gu Chaoyan responded with a smile.

She wasnt naturally garrulous and typically maintained a cold, distant demeanor. To counteract this perception, she endeavored to maintain a welcoming smile so that the other clan members wouldnt find her unapproachable.

One clan member engaged with the Tribe Chief, and her agreement emboldened others. People began speaking up, eager to communicate with the Tribe Chief.

Despite her role as Tribe Chief, she had been largely distant from them in the past, leaving many clan members without an opportunity to converse with her.

But circ.u.mstances had changed, and now everyone had a chance to exchange a few words with the Tribe Chief.

Although it was a new experience for Gu Chaoyan, she found herself pleased.

Gary observed the harmonious scene from a distance, a smile gracing his features.

This was wonderful.

It truly felt like they were a unified clan.

But time in this state was limited.

After replenis.h.i.+ng their energy with a meal, no one was willing to squander any more time.
