Even the wounded hadn’t received proper attention yet, but Gu Chaoyan was directed to take cover initially.

It was evident that the members of the Five Elements Clan held her in high regard.

Gu Chaoyan rose and followed Aina, although her intention was not to shelter from the rain, but rather to address clan matters.

“I am uninjured and in good health, so there’s no need for me to seek shelter. Let’s focus on tending to the injured individuals first. They should not be exposed to the rain. Only when they recover will our clan slowly regain its strength,” Gu Chaoyan asserted.

Aina and the others were taken aback.

They were astonished that the Tribe Chief prioritized their welfare.

Recalling what the Tribe Chief had said earlier, Aina beamed with delight. The Tribe Chief was indeed undergoing a transformation.

“Very well,” Aina promptly agreed.

“Absurd,” an elder member of the clan scolded Aina, believing she shouldn’t have made such a suggestion.

“I am the Tribe Chief, so heed my instructions. Go and care for the injured first, and then attend to the others,” Gu Chaoyan advised.

Having conveyed her sentiments, the members had no choice but to comply.

Once things were settled, Gu Chaoyan gazed at the sky. Dark clouds loomed overhead, heralding impending rain. Fortunately, there was no sign of lightning.

To be frank, the tents of the Five Elements Clan were rudimentary structures fashioned from animal skins. They provided some shelter from the elements, but their number was insufficient to accommodate everyone adequately.

Once the injured had been tended to, it became evident that many of them lacked tents to shield them from the wind and rain.

Given the scarcity of resources, it was no wonder that the clan harbored numerous grievances against their Tribe Chief.

The question remained: How should the others be accommodated?

“Aina, rain is imminent, and the tents can’t accommodate so many people. We can’t just stand out in the rain. Come with me; we can take shelter beneath that tree to stay dry,” Gu Chaoyan called out to Aina, signaling for her to bring along some individuals.

“Tribe Chief, no, you mustn’t do this,” Aina expressed with anxiety. “In the past, there were people from other races who sought shelter like this and were struck down by the heavens.”

“It’s a terrible way to go,” Aina exclaimed as though she had recalled something harrowing.

“No, there are just a few dark clouds directly above us, and they are meant to produce lightning. Without lightning, they won’t be struck. Our top priority right now is to prevent them from falling ill,” Gu Chaoyan asserted with confidence.

“But…” There were evidently certain fears Aina couldn’t overcome. She hesitated to comply.

Within the tent, someone interjected, “Aina, heed the Tribe Chief’s instructions.”

In the past, they might not have been inclined to obey. However…

They could sense the effectiveness of the herbs that the Tribe Chief had administered earlier. Their pain had subsided, and they were no longer bleeding excessively. Furthermore, their tempers had cooled considerably.

Many of them hadn’t succumbed to their injuries but had perished due to their agitated mental states.

Now, the injured individuals were in better condition.

All of this was thanks to the Tribe Chief.

Hence…

They had trust in the Tribe Chief.

She likely wouldn’t deceive them.

The Tribe Chief must have asked them to do that for their own good.

“Aina, go.” This person had some prestige in the clan. After he finished speaking, Aina had no reason to disobey and brought those people to the tree to hide from the rain.
