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 thest fight yet!"


    They were fighting with weapons rather than their beast forms. In the spar, they were not allowed to


    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 n. 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 nned that." Jiang Gen


    looked to them, but even his fellowrades 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 med 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


    theycked 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


    umon 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.
