Gu Chaoyan's expression remained less than joyful.
Nevertheless, it was impossible for her to flatly reject Gary's excitement and instruct him not to make the necessary preparations.
She was certain of one thing: if she attempted to drive the sorcerer away, it was highly likely that the Five Elements Clan would take issue with her and potentially expel her instead.
Therefore, she forced a smile.
Gary wasted no time in organizing a place for the sorcerer to stay and warmly welcomed him.
Seeing Gary's eagerness to settle the alleged charlatan-like wizard, Gu Chaoyan decided to let Gary handle these matters. She wasn't particularly interested in this visitor and was more inclined to check on Aina's progress.
With this intention, Gu Chaoyan began to depart.
However, the sorcerer sensed her intent and halted her. "Tribe Chief, please accompany me. I have something to discuss with you."
Gu Chaoyan's plan to leave was thwarted completely.
