The lion and the tiger

Chapter 12: The blue stone

Wang Yibo walked aimlessly in the huge palace trying to cool off his steam by moving around and distracting himself. Completely forgetting about the earlier events.

'Argh! I can't believe him! He actually invited those savage animals' Yibo grunted as he kept on thinking about it.

His reaction isn't weird anyhow as in the entire Royal Family, only his father believed of the innocence of those savage animals (savage animals=Tigers)

As Yibo made a sharp turn, he bumped onto someone.

"Argh!" The man exclaimed, surprise evident on his face. "Your Highness" the man greeted, slowly bowing his head.

"Hump!" Yibo ignored the person and resumed his aimless walk. As he turned to the next turn, the man looked towards his back and smiled sweetly.

Arriving at the training grounds, Yibo went inside a ring where a man was standing.

"Yibo! What's with the sudden visit? I thought you've already forgotten about me" joked the guy.

"Shut up Xuan, fight with me" taking his position in the center he began to attack without a warning, catching Xuan off guard.

"Ow! No need to be so serious, what's wrong?" Xuan conversed while dodging to the side as Yibo's fist slides past his face.

Lifting his legs, Yibo put pressure on his feet as he launched a huge kick on Xuan's stomach.

Xuan avoided just in time before the feet could touch him.

*boom!

With widened eyes, Xuan looked at the once perfectly white and flawless wall now looking like it's been hit by a wrecking ball.

He turned towards Yibo and dodged his fast moving fist. He dodged and dodged and dodged until he saw an opening and hit him on his gut.

"Ahck!" Yibo spat a mouthful of blood as he staggered back.

"Oh no! Yibo!!" With worried eyes and fast movements, Xuan ran beside Yibo and patted his back. 'What's wrong, why did it affect him so strongly?' "Yibo are you alright?"

YIBO'S POV

"Don't ever come back in this part of the forest."

"Why don't you fight back, don't you know that it's quite boring if you just keep on dodging?"

"Ahck!!!"

"Die..."

"Ge"

"Hey Yibo! Yibo! Are you alright?"

'What......what was that?' Big droplets of sweet formed on his forehead as it slowly dropped to the ground.

I looked towards the side and saw Xuan's worried face. "I-I'm fine"

"Are you sure, I'm sorry about that I didn't think it would go that way" he uttered, guilt evident on his tone.

"Don't worry Xuan, I'm alright" I assured him. He breathed a sigh of relief as he hit me on my shoulder.

"You scared me, how am I going to explain this if the king asked about it!"

I laughed at him and hit his shoulders back. "Hey Xuan?"

"What?" He replied a bit sulkingly

"Have-have we fought last night?" I can't seem to recall anything.

"Last night? No, I left on a mission last night remember?"

"Yeah......" Then, if it's not Xuan, who is it? "I'll get going then"
