The Healer's Cure (Love In The Realms) #Bonus

Chapter 10

Xue Yahui looked down to see the caracal from before. He was of course fighting again with the same

two cougars from the night before, but this fight was one against one.

"We haven't finished the last fight yet!"

They were fighting with weapons rather than their beast forms. In the spar, they were not allowed to ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

use their beast forms since it would count as unfair. Along with depending on their fighting skills more

than their beasts to do the work all the time.

Xue Yahui was watching how they fought with each other. He had then noticed that the other fellow

who was with the other cougar was secretly holding a small dagger in his sleeve from afar.

Xue Yahui had a few of his marbles in his hands. Holding a single one, he flicked it which flew hitting

the man's dagger which dropped. Everyone stopped once they heard the man hissing in pain with the

dagger falling out.

"What is this?!" The Lieutenant was watching them, but he did not think there was one with a secret

weapon. Taking the dagger, he sniffed it smelling a hint of poison on it. "What is the meaning of this?! A

weapon dipped in poison! You know the rules! I see that you do not obey it at all! You will be dismissed

from your duty as of today!"

The lieutenant was angered knowing how he had trained a fellow man who should have known the tile

of the feline clan. It was great dishonor in his eyes to see that one could not obey it. "It wasn't my idea!

Please give me another chance!"

Xue Yahui smirked seeing how one begging was amusing, but the other just watched. 'Why don't you

be apart of it as well?' Xue Yahui knew that the other was going to expose his friend or maybe

someone else.

"It wasn't just me! It was his idea!" Seeing him point at the caracal fellow, Xue Yahui sighed seeing how

annoying this was.

"Jiang Gen? Don't tell me this was your idea." The lieutenant looked to Jiang Gen in disbelief that he

would be apart of it.

Jiang Gen did not care what they thought of him. He knew that they would try to pull something like that

up. "You can think as you please, but I will tell you. I wasn't the one who planned that." Jiang Gen

looked to them, but even his fellow comrades did not know if it was true or not. He was usually quiet

and no one knew what was on his mind. "Whoever you wish to believe is your own thoughts." Waiting

for them to say or do something, but no one did anything. "I see. I'll pack my things then."

Xue Yahui smiled seeing how Jiang Gen was one of a kind. He did not care about what others thought

of him, nor did he care if they blamed him. Xue Yahui got up from his seat. "Lord Xue, is something not

to your liking?" The guard questioned seeing how Xue Yahui hadn't picked a guard yet to see if they

would pick him.

"Sort of. These men are great and all, but..." Xue Yahui could see that there were all good men, but

they lacked loyalty and judgement from others.

"But?"

"I suggest you tell your lieutenant to check all of his men to find the poison. It would not hurt to try and

see than to assume with just one's words." Xue Yahui left with the guard rushing down to the lieutenant

to inform him of Xue Yahui's words.

"All of you men! We will be searching your things! Drop every time that you have right now on the

ground!" The lieutenant had his men line up, but the two cougars were sweating knowing that they

were going to be found red hand.

Xue Yahui made it out of the training grounds, but he saw Jiang Gen. Xue Yahui went ahead meeting

Jiang Gen at the entrance where he was about to leave. "Are you Jiang Gen?" Xue Yahui went up

looking at the fellow in front of him.

"En, what brings Lord Xue to see me?" Jiang Gen didn't know why Xue Yahui was there meeting him

when he clearly saw him get framed.

"So you know me." Xue Yahui didn't think that so many would know him when he was the Lord of Herb

Valley. 'It's probably the rumors of me being a mortal once.' Xue Yahui assumed since it wasn't

uncommon for everyone to know now.

"Who wouldn't? You cannot choose me now since I was just dismissed from my position." Jiang Gen

started walking off, but Xue Yahui went ahead following him.

"It's fine. I believe it's better that I get along with you. From what I saw, I believe you were not the one

who did it." Xue Yahui walked along with Jiang Gen who didn't seem to mind Xue Yahui following him

home.

"May I ask something?"

Xue Yahui didn't think that Jiang Gen would be one for asking quite a few questions, but it was a start

to getting to know someone. "Go ahead."

"Why did you want a personal guard? You are known for having great fighting skills. What's the point of

having a personal guard?"

Xue Yahui was right for choosing this fellow to work alongside him. "I didn't exactly want a personal

guard." Jiang Gen didn't know what was Xue Yahui wanted now. He was confused to the point of

wanting to ask more questions. "They say it's good to have someone work alongside you even when

you skilled at fighting. There's always something we are not good at. I wanted someone who can work

alongside me and be loyal to me. Not judge on ones background or history." Both stopped making it to

a home that was a bit run down. "Is this where you live?"

"En, sorry about the entire look of it." Jiang Gen apologized when both men heard a woman.

"Jiang Gen, your home?" Both saw a woman walking out to greet them both.
