Gu Chaoyan couldn’t quite fathom Gary’s boundless excitement.

Sorcerer?

Protection?

It all seemed dubious.

Furthermore, it was apparent that the sorcerers here could visit any race they desired, enjoying exceptional treatment.

She couldn’t fathom what kind of beings held such sway.

Accompanied by Gary, she soon encountered the self-proclaimed sorcerer.

Her initial assumption had been that she’d meet an elderly individual, but to her surprise, the sorcerer appeared quite youthful. Unlike the generally tanned people of this world, the sorcerer had fair, delicate skin. Dressed in white fabric, he stood out from the rugged animal skin attire of the locals.

The fabric was evidently of lower quality compared to what she had seen in the cultivation world, but it provided much greater comfort than animal skin.

This led Gu Chaoyan to speculate that the sorcerer had likely interacted with more advanced civilizations than the races dwelling here. Otherwise, he wouldn’t possess such refined clothing.

She pondered if some races in this world had already developed the ability to produce their own fabric, given that travel and communication between regions seemed limited due to the inconvenience of transportation.

Though she held no personal aversion to the sorcerer, observing her people’s subservient attitudes, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but develop a certain degree of antipathy towards him. She found herself disliking such figures who demanded unquestioning reverence from others.

It struck Gu Chaoyan as highly illogical to assume that the sorcerer would let these people die, especially given their current predicament. Such a notion seemed wholly irrational, and she couldn’t bring herself to like it.

She found such situations challenging to manage, as they were difficult to control.

“You’re the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan?” the sorcerer inquired. His voice exuded a scholarly gentleness.

“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan responded calmly.

Her response irritated Gary and the others, particularly Gary, who tried to convey a message to the Tribe Chief to be more amiable.

This was a sorcerer. If he stayed for a few days, it could bring immense blessings to the Five Elements Clan. If the sorcerer decided to leave due to his dislike of the Tribe Chief’s demeanor and chose the Thunder Fire Clan or another clan instead, it would be a significant loss for the Five Elements Clan.

“Tribe Chief,” Gary reminded her softly.

Gu Chaoyan’s demeanor remained unaltered, but a faint smile graced her lips.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you take a seat inside?” Gu Chaoyan extended a polite but somewhat distant invitation, as if she didn’t want the sorcerer to stay.

The sorcerer regarded her with curiosity, a smile playing on his lips.

In his travels through this land, he hadn’t chosen to visit the clans based on their strength; he had simply stopped wherever he wished to rest. His presence had been equally welcomed in each clan he had visited. This marked the first time he had encountered a leader who didn’t extend a warm reception.

‘Is he unwelcome?’

In this world, regardless of a clan’s power, his arrival was always met with enthusiasm. It was the first time someone had been less than welcoming. With no pressing matters at hand, he decided he might as well stay for a few days.

“I’d appreciate it if the Tribe Chief could prepare a place for my stay. I intend to reside in your clan for a few days,” the sorcerer declared matter-of-factly.

Gu Chaoyan’s expression immediately darkened.

Despite her initial inclination to send the sorcerer away, he expressed a firm desire to remain.

“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll make the arrangements right away,” Gary eagerly responded. The prospect of hosting a sorcerer for several days filled him with exhilaration. Such an opportunity was exceptionally rare!
