Tribe Chief! Gary shouted with excitement.

The other clan members quickly grasped the significance.

All right, now that weve located it and know where to find it, the top priority is to return promptly and bring more people to collect these. Its raining heavily now, and if the rain continues, these items could be ruined. Lets move quickly, Gu Chaoyan urged.

There was no time to waste.

They hastened their journey back, although their pace was somewhat slowed due to the heavy load they were carrying.

Nevertheless, everyone was in high spirits and didnt feel fatigued.

On the way home, Gu Chaoyan couldnt help but burst into laughter.

She had released her worries, and there was no longer anything to weigh on her mind.

Hence, during the return journey, her countenance remained serene.

Things went more smoothly than she had antic.i.p.ated.

They successfully arrived back at the Five Elements Clan.

From a distance, the clan members spotted them returning with a substantial haul.

Elders, adults, and children alike, all the members of the Five Elements Clan were overwhelmed with excitement, cheering, Tribe Chief!

Tribe Chief?

Tribe Chief?

It was a unique way the Five Elements Clan celebrated their Tribe Chiefs triumphant return.

Gu Chaoyan blushed, deeply moved by the warm reception.

Gu Chaoyan hadnt antic.i.p.ated such a warm welcome.

She guided Gary and the others back to the clan and set down their findings.

Red fruits, red fruits are poisonous. Horace, he he died from eating such fruits! exclaimed an elderly member of the clan.

Uncle Maia, this is a different fruit. Its not poisonous. The Tribe Chief and I have eaten it. Its safe, and its very sweet. If you dont believe me, give it a try, the person who had already tried the fruit rea.s.sured confidently.

Uncle Maia took a closer look.

While they appeared different, the rule against consuming red fruits had been deeply ingrained within the clan. No matter how famished they were, they had always steered clear of red fruits.

Could this one truly be safe?

Could it be edible?

Ill try it, Aina volunteered.

Make sure to wash it before eating, Gu Chaoyan reminded her.

Aina washed the fruit in the nearby water and then took a hearty bite.

She had complete trust in the Tribe Chief.

Without the Tribe Chief, the clan wouldnt be experiencing such favorable circ.u.mstances. There was no reason not to believe her.

After taking a bite, Aina confirmed, Its very sweet!

Gu Chaoyan beamed.

It was indeed incredibly sweet.

Harvest these and have the clan members taste them. Additionally, a.s.sign some women to cultivate them near the Five Elements Clan. If they bear fruit, we wont have to venture so far to procure them, Gu Chaoyan suggested.

Tribe Chief, youre brilliant! I want to be part of the cultivation, Aina exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Dont be in such a hurry. Let the others learn, Gu Chaoyan directed her attention toward the women she had previously praised.

Ainas earlier excitement dimmed.

Before, the Tribe Chief wouldnt allow her to accompany her on excursions. Now she was being excluded from the learning process. How could she be content?

She could only watch others receive instruction.

She had to stand aside, her disappointment evident.

While her sisters were more skilled, she yearned for an opportunity to contribute.

After Gu Chaoyan had spent some time instructing the others, she approached Aina.

Aina remained disheartened.

Why? Are you upset about what occurred earlier? Gu Chaoyan inquired.

Yes, Aina responded without reservation.

Tribe Chief, you didnt want to take me with you on your previous expeditions. Now, I can contribute without going on trips. Why didnt you include me? Am I not proficient at what I do? Aina, despite her cheerful nature, could also be quite obstinate.

She didnt want to be idle and unproductive, incapable of making a meaningful contribution.

This feeling was disheartening.

Her little friend, Gary, and the others all had important tasks to attend to. Even the less dependable Giles was occupied with work all day, while she wandered aimlessly.

She didnt have any responsibilities.

The Tribe Chief hadnt a.s.signed her any specific duties.

It was as if her presence was insignificant.

Everyone had their roles to play.

She, Aina, was no exception.

She couldnt comprehend it.

Seeing Ainas forlorn expression, Gu Chaoyan couldnt help but chuckle.

Aina was still very young.

Her sorrowful look had a touch of innocence.

It seemed that unless Gu Chaoyan clarified things, Aina would only grow more despondent.

She clarified, Aina, I didnt involve you in their tasks for a different reason. Its just that were going on a different expedition soon, and I intend to bring you along so you can gain broader experiences. That way, youll comprehend better.

Furthermore, I havent a.s.signed you the same responsibilities as the others because I dont think youre incapable.

Its because I want you to be well-rounded, knowledgeable in all aspects. Only then can I eventually entrust you with the management of all the clans affairs. Do you grasp what Im saying?

Gary is responsible for the welfare of our clan, whereas youre in charge of overseeing both major and minor clan matters.

So, whether Im present or not in the future, the clan will run smoothly. Do you comprehend?

Dont dwell on those concerns.

Aina, our clan will continue to grow stronger, and there will be many tasks to be done. I hope I can count on you to fulfill the responsibilities Ive entrusted to you.

Do you understand the expectations I have for you? Gu Chaoyan asked Aina earnestly.

Ainas face displayed astonishment.

She had believed that the Tribe Chief hadnt allocated specific responsibilities to her because she was young and at times acted without propriety. She thought her abilities were limited and therefore was left out.

But she had never realized

The Tribe Chief held such high hopes for her.

It was precisely because her aspirations for Aina diverged from the rest that Ainas role within the clan set her apart.

Aina was a little unhappy.

She had misconstrued the Tribe Chiefs intentions.

Not only had she not fulfilled her responsibilities well, but she had also been a source of bother throughout the day.

Tribe Chief Aina was riddled with guilt.

Dont dwell on it too much. Youre still young, and its natural not to know everything, Gu Chaoyan rea.s.sured her. Now that Ive clarified things for you, heres how well proceed. Just focus on your a.s.signed tasks and accompany us on our missions. We can discuss the rest at a later time.

Ill provide guidance if you encounter any difficulties.

Understand? Dont place too much pressure on yourself.

I understand

All right, now select three individuals you deem trustworthy and suitable to follow you. Once youve done that, well set out.
