The two butlers looked pale.
Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught whispering
Once the teenager told Qin Qi what he heard, they would definitely face severe punishment. Thinking of Qin Qi's cruel methods and the group of mad dogs under his command, their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
Yaxiao saw the two housekeepers' frightened and panicked eyes. He was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly realized what was going on and said in an embarrassed tone, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
Not all humans are as powerful as the Marshal, many of them are rather timid.
I need to be more considerate of them.
The pretty black-haired boy has sincere eyes.
The two butlers moved a little stiffly and looked at each other.
"No… I'm fine."
The older Zhao Ke stammered in response. He pulled up his companion beside him and tried his best to remain normal: "It's all... our fault. Please don't take it to heart. We were just chatting. There's really no other intention."
Yaxiao really likes making friends. Although he doesn't know what the bad thing about Zhao Ke is, since the other party said so, he agreed directly.
"Well, I didn't take it to heart."
Such a generous attitude finally made Zhao Ke and Ryan feel less nervous. Things might not be as bad as they thought.
"We two are going to deliver food to our employer now. We'll talk again later when we have a chance."
Before reaching the fifth base, they must stay away from the steward in front of them! After a long time, the other party will definitely forget their complaints about not following the rules.
The two butlers forced themselves to smile, wishing they could run out immediately after they finished speaking and leave this damn place.
"Okay."
Yaxiao nodded obediently, stretched out his arm, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Then should we add a light brain number?"
Yaxiao has not yet fully mastered some of the polite social expressions of humans. When he heard the other party say that they would talk again when there was a chance, he honestly believed that they really wanted to talk to him after they were done with their work.
Zhao Ke's eyes fell on the light computer on Yaxiao's arm. At this moment, the silvery-white light computer sounded like a call from hell.
Didn't the young man understand their polite words? As an excellent butler, how could he not understand such polite words? The other party must want to settle the score later and tell Qin Qi and the others about it!
His companion beside him obviously thought the same thing, and the two of them stood stiffly without moving for a long time.
"Don't want to add friends?"
Yaxiao showed a puzzled expression, and Zhao Ke and his companions reacted quickly:
"Of course!"
"Yes, yes, let me scan your optical computer number!"
Without each other, they might not even be able to get out of the kitchen door.
The optical computers collided, and a crisp ding-dong sound was heard.
After adding Yaxiao as their friend, the two stewards from the Fourth Base fled with their food trays. In the blink of an eye, Yaxiao was the only one left in the kitchen.
[Host, what's wrong with you? ]
The system noticed that the host seemed to be thinking about something and asked curiously.
[It's okay.] Yaxiao came back to his senses, shook his head, and remembered what the two had said. He seriously concluded: [Zhao Ke and Ryan are both afraid of villains.]
The system thought that they would definitely be scared.
The villain is currently treating the host well, but this is all because he wants to use the host's identity as a butler to attend the spring meeting.
In essence, Qin Qi has always been a ruthless and merciless person.
The host suddenly said this, is it because he was deceived by the villain's goodwill and felt sorry for him? Does he think the villain was misunderstood and wronged
The system's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells, and it hurriedly tried to warn the host, but then it heard the host's smug and proud tone as he puffed out his chest:
[They all don't have as good vision as the devil! ]
[If Qin Qi were to go to the demon world, he would definitely be the most popular person among demons! Demons would line up to fight him every day.]
Yaxiao simply didn't understand why humans were afraid of Qin Qi and didn't know how to appreciate what they had.
As for feeling sorry for the villain, the devil has not yet learned such delicate emotions.
The system was silent for a moment, then immediately said: [The host is right, these humans don't have as good vision as the demons.]
Yaxiao was delighted by his fourth uncle's approval. He tapped the floor with the tip of his dark blue tail and looked around the kitchen.
The brief interlude did not make him forget the purpose of his trip. Yaxiao took out a few bags of snacks from the locker and returned to Emily.
At this time, Emily was holding a cigarette and talking to Wittin impatiently.
Seeing Yaxiao coming back with snacks, Emily, who was wearing a lip stud, put out the cigarette in her hand and threw the butt into the trash can beside her. She sounded a little annoyed: "Why are you taking so long to come back?"
He was clearly concerned about Yaxiao, but because he was not very experienced, he seemed a little unkind.
Witdin, who will become a member of the protagonist group in the future, is a middle-aged man who seems to have a good temper. He seems to think that Emily is too harsh on the new housekeeper. He gently advised: "Ya Xiao has returned very quickly, Emily, don't be so impatient."
Vitdin's attitude was clearly biased towards Yaxiao, and his tone was gentle and friendly. If he were replaced by another butler, he would definitely have a great liking for him.
Emily felt that her tone was a bit harsh when she heard this. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain, and finally swallowed it all.
However, in fact, Yaxiao didn't hear anything wrong with Emily's tone, and he didn't know what the two were thinking.
Hearing Emily asking him why he was so slow, Ya Xiao did not hide anything and answered in a relaxed tone: "I met two housekeepers in the kitchen and talked to them for a while."
As he said this, he handed a bag of snacks to the two people next to him, and continued to sit in front of the window of the airship, staring at the insects outside that were blocked by the barrier with bright eyes.
Witdin thought he would receive a look of gratitude from the new butler, but he didn't expect that the other party had no such intention at all. For a moment, his smile froze on his lips, neither going up nor down.
On the contrary, Emily, who was originally nervous, returned to her normal state after realizing that Yaxiao didn't care. She lazily put her arms on the chair and asked along with what he had just said:
"You met two stewards? There are only five or six taboo people who came to attend the border meeting this time. Whose steward did you meet?"
"I heard from them that it was the forbidden person who lost control in the base before." Yaxiao moved his gaze back outside.
"Reniko, the Forbidden One of the Fourth Base?"
Vittin interjected.
"Yes." Yaxiao recalled how they were frightened by him, and said with a smile: "Those two housekeepers are easy to get along with, but they are a little timid."
Emily and Viterdin didn't know where he came from, but they both had no good feelings towards the Fourth Base.
"Don't associate with those idiots in the Fourth Base. They are all equally annoying from top to bottom." Emily curled the corners of her mouth with a mocking look in her eyes.
Wittedin, who seemed to be a good guy, didn't speak well when he commented on the Fourth Base: "They are too arrogant."
"oh."
Yaxiao listened to the two people's comments and nodded. Not to mention Emily, Vitdin never offended others easily and liked to protect himself the most. That's why when the Sixth Base was about to disappear, he joined the protagonist group in order to save his life.
The fact that they could make such an assessment was enough to show that the relationship between them and the Fourth Foundation was really not that good.
However, this matter had little to do with Yaxiao. After listening to it, he turned around and put it behind his mind, continuing to stare out the window with interest.
Those black bugs seemed very weak to Yaxiao. The reason why he kept staring at them was actually because he was curious about the barrier that had been protecting the base.
The barrier seems to have more than just a blocking function.
The overwhelming black insect shadows kept hitting the invisible barrier. Countless black flying insects with broken limbs and wings fell to the ground. Green mucus flowed down the barrier and mixed into the dirty soil. Even so, those black insects with sharp stings rushed towards the barrier like crazy, seeking death.
As the airship slowly sailed, the direction of the rushing black shadows would also change accordingly. Yaxiao had no doubt that the target of those black insects was this airship. Once the barrier was broken, the entire airship would be swallowed up.
"There are a large number of black bone insects numbered SN03, but their level is the lowest among the five branches of magic insects. They are not dangerous at all. Under the protection of the barrier, they cannot come in."
Witdin thought that Yaxiao had been looking out the window because he was afraid that the black bone worm would rush in, so he kindly introduced the new butler.
"Our route is the safest, so don't worry."
Yaxiao nodded when he heard this, and asked with his blue eyes slightly curved: "How long will it take to get to the fifth base?"
Now that the villain is gone, no matter how curious he is about the barrier, he has become bored after looking at it for so long.
"half an hour."
Emily, who was standing by, glanced at the road sign outside and replied casually.
Yaxiao nodded in understanding and planned to use his computer to kill time.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the meeting room of the flying ship was solemn. Qin Qi sat in the first seat and listened to his subordinates report their work.
"Marshal Wenbol's adjutant from the Fourth Base has sent a message. They have now arrived at the Fifth Base and will discuss the matter of the out-of-control Renico with us at the border meeting."
Qin Qi hummed, seemingly not paying attention to the other party. He turned his head slightly to look to the side, pointed at the light screen map on the table and said, "Have you recorded this route?"
“It’s recorded.”
Mist responded, "The research department believes that based on the current behavior of the black bone worms, they will enter the breeding season in about two months."
When this matter was mentioned, all the officers present looked unhappy. The black bone worms are in the breeding period all year round, but since half a year ago, the black bone worms outside have stopped breeding for no reason, and they will enter the breeding period again two months later. This behavior is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
Qin Qi tapped the table with his fingers, and the officers who were immersed in negative emotions subconsciously looked over when they heard the sound.
The man sitting in the first seat had a calm and indifferent look in his eyes. He always looked cool and composed. No matter how serious the incident was, it was nothing to him. The trust he had gained in the past made the officers present put their worries aside unconsciously.
With the Marshal here, there is no need to think too much.
They just need to be Qin Qi's wolves, obey orders, and kill wherever the marshal's sword points.
"Give me a summary of the lab reports by tomorrow morning."
The man's cold voice rang out.
"yes!"
After the meeting, the accompanying officers left one after another, with Mist and Soren being the last to leave.
The two had been working beside Qin Qi before he became the marshal. They knew the marshal's powerful strength better than anyone else, but they also knew that the marshal was bearing unimaginable pressure.
Qin Qi would never reveal any weakness in front of his subordinates. He would keep everything in his heart and solve them alone, always leaving a steady and calm back to his subordinates.
"I have to tell Yashao that the meeting is over."
After walking a few steps outside, Mist took out his computer and planned to send a message to Yaxiao.
Noticing Soran's puzzled gaze, Mist raised his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "Don't you think the Marshal will be in a much better mood as long as Yaxiao is here?"
Have it
Soran thought about it and wasn't sure.
"It doesn't matter whether you see it or not." Mist swiped his fingers on the light brain a few times, then stopped the screen and said, "It's good enough that I know it."
Qin Qi was not aware of the concerns from the adjutant, but when he heard Yaxiao's voice outside the door, Qin Qi was not surprised. After all, the new butler has always been very clingy.
When Yaxiao saw the man sitting on the chair, his blue eyes curved. He walked briskly to stand next to Qin Qi, and swung his tail slightly.
Woo, I can finally absorb demonic value.
Yaxiao was very excited when he heard the prompt tone in his ear.
The meeting is now over and they are about to arrive at the fifth base. Qin Qi had already put away the information and did not continue working. He just sat in a chair with his eyes closed to rest.
Yaxiao turned his head slightly to look at Qin Qi. The other party's expression was calm, no different from usual, but Yaxiao's intuition told him that Qin Qi was not in a good mood.
"marshal."
The young man lowered his voice, as if he was worried about disturbing him. Qin Qi hummed, opened his eyes and looked at Yaxiao, waiting for his next words.
Yaxiao lowered his head and pointed to the door at the man sitting on the chair: "I'll go out for a while."
After Qin Qi nodded, the boy stepped out.
The door creaked shut, and Qin Qi was the only one left in the empty conference room. The breathing in the room was barely audible. Qin Qi didn't know what Yaxiao was doing, nor did he care. Instead of guessing what the people around him were thinking, there were obviously more important things that needed him to think about.
Qin Qi looked at the pile of documents on the table, his black eyes were full of darkness. After a while, he closed his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed because of something he was worried about.
Three minutes later, the knock on the door sounded again. When Yaxiao's voice came again, Qin Qi opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
The black-haired boy walked straight to the marshal.
"Marshal, here's this."
The white fingers opened, and a familiar red eyeball stared at Qin Qi with its eyes open. Yaxiao curled his eyes and directly handed the soft ball to the marshal.
When the mall was offering a buy one get one free promotion, I already had a left eye, so I gave my right eye to the villain who was not very happy at the time to play with. Fortunately, he saw the eyeball on the cabinet in the master bedroom before he left, so he specially helped the marshal take it with him when he packed his luggage.
Qin Qi squeezed the de-stressing eyeball in his hand and said, "Did you go to get it just now?" Yaxiao nodded. It was the housekeeper's responsibility to solve the employer's emotional problems. Although he didn't know why Qin Qi's expression was so solemn, he knew that the villain with good vision always liked the de-stressing eyeball he gave him.
"If the Marshal is in a bad mood, you can pinch him."
There was a hint of joy in Yaxiao's blue eyes.
The villain seems to be in a bad mood a lot of the time.
Yaxiao felt quite emotional. In the future, he would remember to remind Qin Qi to always carry decompression toys with him.
"Um."
This was the second time that the butler noticed his mood swings. Qin Qi unconsciously clenched his hands, and his bloodshot eyeballs were instantly squeezed with countless bloodshot veins.
He looked at Yaxiao, pursed his lips, and changed the subject: "We will soon reach our destination."
"Yes, Emily also sent a message to remind us that we will arrive at our destination in ten minutes."
Arriving at the fifth base, Yaxiao was a little distressed as he didn't know if he could continue to follow the villain smoothly.
Seeing Qin Qi put the decompression toys on the table and stand up, Yaxiao temporarily suppressed his inner thoughts. He picked up the black coat that Qin Qi had previously placed on the chair, helped him put it on, and conscientiously performed his duties as a butler.
Qin Qi had never asked the butler to help him button his clothes before, and he was going to refuse at first, but when they met the next day, Yaxiao helped him button his clothes once, and he didn't feel any resistance afterwards. By now, Qin Qi had gotten used to it.
He looked down at the whorl of hair on Yaxiao's head. The slightly curly and fluffy hair looked like the soft fur of a cat and looked very nice to touch. Qin Qi glanced at it and then looked away, saying, "Have you understood all the matters related to the border meeting?"
"clear."
After fastening the buttons, Yaxiao took a step back and observed the villain's clothes. He was satisfied and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Adjutant Mist has already told me in advance."
The border conference refers to a seven-day meeting held jointly by the four bases located on the border. It is essentially to prepare proposals for the spring meeting two months later.
"Not only will the Marshal attend the meeting, but as a steward, I will also attend another meeting organized by the Border Steward."
Qin Qi looked at the young man with curved eyebrows and nodded in a low voice, "The meetings organized by the housekeepers are not important. If you don't like it, you don't have to attend."
Those who could attend the butler meeting were not good people. Qin Qi felt that his butler might come back crying because of his simple character.
"good."
Yaxiao nodded heavily. He didn’t have much obsession with this and it didn’t matter whether he attended the butler meeting or not.
Killing the assassin who intends to assassinate the villain and protecting the villain are the top priorities of his visit to the Fifth Base this time.
Yaxiao's tail was taut, his purpose very clear.
No one can stop him from absorbing demonic value!
The flying ship slowly landed at the border of the fifth base. Like the sixth base, aircraft were not allowed to enter the fifth base. If one wanted to enter, one had to change transportation.
A group of men and women in black military uniforms followed Qin Qi in an orderly manner. Their ruthless temperament was as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath, like a pack of wolves following their master, with strict organizational discipline, loyalty and indifference.
When Grange, the head of the Fifth Base's News Department, came over with his employees, he was startled when he saw this scene.
The seven-day border conference was a big event.
The News Department needed to interview the marshals of every border base, and he was unfortunately assigned to the Sixth Base.
Facing such a powerful Sixth Base Corps, Grange was so nervous that he almost died. He covered his heart and hesitated to move forward. There was no other way. Who in the news industry had not heard of the rumors about the Sixth Base? As an ordinary person, he would be afraid to interview such a person.
Although they are all heroes, admiration is one thing, and fear and daring not to approach them is another.
"Grange, what's wrong with you?"
Grange took a deep breath, holding on to his dignity as a superior, and revealed an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing: "Nothing, Xiaochen, I'll go say hello to the adjutant of the Sixth Base first."
Xiaochen, who was talking to Grange, was a quiet and intellectual woman. She had short hair that reached her shoulders, a slim figure, and spoke gently and considerately.
"I'll go with you. I'll be the main interviewer for the border meeting in seven days. It's polite to greet them in advance."
Of course he couldn't refuse someone who offered to accompany him. Grange was delighted and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, I'd like you to follow me. Let's go now."
As he said that, he pulled Xiaochen and ran tremblingly towards the Sixth Base Army that had already taken up position, and soon found Adjutant Mist.
Both parties had already discussed the content of tomorrow's interview on the optical computer. They met this time just to confirm it again to avoid any mistakes.
Xiaochen had been standing next to the person in charge, Grange, with a gentle smile on his fair face. From time to time, he would pass on topics to Grange, so that the conversation between his stuttering boss and the adjutant of the Sixth Base could proceed smoothly.
It was at this time that she accidentally discovered that there was a black-haired boy standing not far away in the Sixth Base, staring at her.
The boy was wearing an exquisite black tuxedo, with three ear bone studs on his ears. His blue eyes shone with pure light, and his skin was soft and fair. When their eyes met, the black-haired boy smiled brightly at her, without any aggression, which made people feel good about him.
"Are you going to interview the Marshal tomorrow?"
Yaxiao raised his foot and came forward to ask in a brisk tone.
Xiaochen nodded, her amber eyes showing a gentle smile, "Yes, my boss Grange will be in charge of the interview tomorrow. I am Xiaochen, the reporter in charge of the interview after the meeting. Are you Marshal Qin's new butler?"
Yaxiao did not deny it and agreed directly. After briefly introducing himself, he took the initiative to bring up the topic and chatted with Xiaochen for a few words.
During this period, Xiaochen answered everyone patiently, with a smile on his gentle face and a soft and slow tone, which easily won the favor of others.
After chatting for a few sentences, the two added each other as friends on the light brain. When Mist and Grange finally agreed on the specific time to leave, Yaxiao and Xiaochen, who were having a great time talking, ended their conversation.
[Is she the host? ]
When Yaxiao walked back to Qin Qi, the system asked cautiously.
[Well, it’s pretty close.]
Yaxiao replied in his heart.
The plot's perspective revolves around the protagonist group. The assassination at the border base was not described in detail, and the protagonist Wei Shi and his younger brother Qin Chen only knew the outcome of the incident.
The only information about the assassin is that when the protagonist Wei Shi saw the newspaper, he found the woman lying in a pool of blood. She was the friend he and Qin Chen depended on each other in the slums of the Seventh Base when they were children.
On the one hand, the protagonists don't believe that their friend would assassinate the villain for no reason, but on the other hand, they are heartbroken by their friend's tragic death, and their hatred for the villain continues to deepen.
It was when Yaxiao accidentally heard the woman's name just now that he locked his target on her.
The protagonist's friend in the original text was named Xiaochen. According to Wei Shi's description, the other party had short hair and had dreamed of becoming a base reporter since childhood.
Moreover, if one wanted to assassinate the villain in the Fifth Base, the press conference would obviously be a very good opportunity, and this reporter Xiaochen was very likely to be one of the assassins.
[Okay, host, I will go monitor her now! ]
[Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Four!]
Yaxiao thanked his fourth uncle obediently in his heart, then stood beside the villain and waited with him for the hovercraft to drive out of the garage.
"Did you finish talking?"
Qin Qi glanced at Yaxiao.
Even from such a long distance, he saw Yaxiao taking the initiative to chat with a woman in a short skirt and even added her as a friend.
"right."
Yaxiao nodded up and down, his blue eyes sparkling: "I asked her a lot of things to pay attention to during the interview. The Marshal can take a look later. When the news comes out, the Marshal will definitely be the most eye-catching among the several base leaders!"
These are all important information that Yaxiao obtained by deliberately approaching the assassin!
Qin Qi was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that Yaxiao had been chatting with that woman for so long just because of this.
"knew."
This was not the first time he was interviewed, but Qin Qi felt that there was no need for him to reject Yaxiao's kindness.
Yaxiao's eyebrows were curved.
The questions he raised were all very useful. I will summarize them for the Marshal when I get back!
At this time, Soran and Mist had finished their work and drove out of the garage in a hovercraft. Qin Qi and Yaxiao sat in the back seat as usual.
Qin Qi looked out the window as if he was deep in thought about something. He unconsciously rubbed his blood-red eyeballs in his hands, making strange noises.
Yaxiao likes to listen to this sound very much.
He said nothing, his eyes showing joy, the tip of his tail swaying up and down with the background music, he listened to the music and quietly analyzed the next itinerary, planning to find time as soon as possible to get rid of the assassins before they took action.
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard in the suspended car was gurgling.
Soran: …
Mister: …
They really didn't expect that the Marshal liked this kind of thing, and he had to bring it with him even when he came all the way to the Fifth Base for a meeting.
