Gu Cheng was caught off guard by their sudden actions. He hurriedly raised his hand and gestured for them to stand straight, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with their gratitude.
"There is no need for such formalities. I merely used a small spell. You should return to your fields and make the most of the rain."
The villagers exchanged glances before thanking him once again. Although Gu Cheng tried to dismiss their gratitude, the relief on their faces made him feel a strange warmth in his heart.
Ethan patted his shoulder and looked toward the villagers, who were still celebrating the rain. He didn't say anything more, allowing Gu Cheng to enjoy the moment a little longer.
After a while, the two began walking away from the village. Gu Cheng glanced back once more at the fields, where the villagers were already working to guide the rainwater toward their crops.
"At least we were able to help them," Ethan said as he walked beside him.
