“Your resilience, sorcerers, appears to match only the thickness of your skin,” Gu Chaoyan remarked matter-of-factly, convinced of the truth in her statement.
The sorcerer gazed at her and offered a subtle smile.
Though she contemplated explaining herself, she ultimately chose silence.
He responded with a fleeting smile.
It wasn’t that everyone in their world possessed thick skin; rather, not everyone within the witches was a sorcerer. He stood as the lone practitioner of magic, and no successor would emerge after his passing.
She truly hailed from a different realm.
In this world, the knowledge was universal—there existed only one witch. This singular figure was revered like a god, entrusted with the duty of safeguarding the populace.
The special treatment he received was a direct result of this unique position.
At that moment, he opted not to unveil her origin and risk unsettling her.
Instead, he maintained a composed smile.
His expression, however, irked Gu Chaoyan.
She sensed that he possessed a deeper understanding, as if he held all the cards. Observing him, she couldn’t shake the feeling that everything lay within his grasp. His gaze shifted to the figure cradled in his hands, his smile casual.
If she harbored no affection for him, she’d have no power over him and couldn’t compel him to depart.
In that case, departure seemed the best course.
As a sorcerer, he could only linger for a few more days at most.
Avoiding him entirely would spare her from further complications.
Unexpectedly, however, winter set in. Even with the first snowflake’s descent, the sorcerer showed no intention of leaving. He comfortably made use of the Five Elements Race’s blanket, residing in the bamboo house. Occasionally, he would emerge, moving like a drifting cloud and a wild crane.
Gu Chaoyan seethed with anger.
She felt betrayed by Gary’s apparent falsehood.
Gary had assured her, “Magi never linger in one clan for long. Even if something arises, it’s only for a few days.”
Yet, the sorcerer had stayed for more than a month.
The idea of providing him with a bamboo house free of charge and utilizing the tribe’s quilts irked Gu Chaoyan.
The more she dwelled on it, the more discontented she became.
For the first time, Gu Chaoyan emerged from her room and headed to the sorcerer’s bamboo house, glaring at his door.
“What’s the matter?” The sorcerer lazily emerged, meeting Gu Chaoyan’s gaze with innocent eyes, seemingly oblivious to the situation.
Seeing his expression, Gu Chaoyan had the impulse to strike him. She was certain she could overpower him, but the clansmen would surely disapprove.
If she resorted to violence, she risked becoming an outcast.
Suppressing her anger and the urge to lash out physically, Gu Chaoyan entered his room and took a seat.
A warm charcoal fire illuminated the space.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but think it was a wasteful use of the Five Elements Clan’s resources.
“It’s snowing outside.”
“I’m aware. Two days ago, it was snowing, and today as well. I took a look early in the morning. Indeed, it’s snowing,” the sorcerer replied casually.
“It’s already snowing, and you’re still here. Traveling will be difficult in the coming days,” Gu
Chaoyan reminded him, hoping he would take the hint and depart, sparing her further encounters with him.
“Tribe Chief, it’s precisely because of the snow that I can’t leave. I’m afraid I’ll have to impose on you for this winter,” the sorcerer said to Gu Chaoyan with a smile.
Gu Chaoyan’s expression hardened.
“He’s not leaving?”
He was committed to staying through another winter.
How long was a winter?
Several months.
