Yaxiao lowered his head and took off his gloves.
Because the tuxedo was inconvenient for movement, Yaxiao had changed into a white suit that was convenient for sports. He smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes and when he looked at Emily, his blue eyes were full of excitement.
"Are you ready?"
Emily looked across. The boy's thin body did not show any explosive power, and even his standing posture was full of flaws. If attacked from behind, he could be strangled directly.
This is normal. Yaxiao has not received any systematic training and does not have any experience. He just needs to slowly master the fighting skills through sparring.
At least the teenager can protect himself.
"Okay!" Yaxiao nodded.
Emily took a defensive stance: "Don't force yourself at first, be careful not to get hurt."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy quickly rushed towards Emily.
The speed is good.
Emily made a calm assessment, and the next second she saw the boy in front of her punching her directly. His movements were soft, just like a child who had just learned how to hit someone.
“Push harder!”
Emily spoke in a cold and hard voice, commanding Yaxiao while turning her head to avoid his attack.
Maybe it was because of his weak physique, the thin boy, even under Emily's guidance, increased his strength a little, but it was still a little soft, or even no strength at all, much weaker than an ordinary person who had not received training.
Emily was not surprised. She continued to dodge and observe Yaxiao's movements, and would take the initiative to attack from time to time.
It was at this time that she watched Yaxiao's movements and suddenly discovered something.
Every move that Yaxiao uses now is actually the fighting technique in the video!
You have to know that most people will rely on instinct to attack at certain times before they have fully mastered the attacking moves.
But Yaxiao did not have such a problem, and every move he performed was exactly the same as in the video.
"You memorized all the fighting moves?"
During the half-time break, Emily looked at Yaxiao who was drinking water on the side. She didn't expect that Yaxiao was so talented in learning fighting.
"My memory is pretty good." Yaxiao said modestly.
Emily nodded: "That's great. Although the movements are still a little unstandard, let's take it step by step."
The only problem is that Yaxiao’s strength is a little weak.
But these are all small matters. Yaxiao is originally a weak housekeeper. After training for a longer period of time, he will definitely have no problem protecting himself.
Because Yaxiao was unexpectedly talented, the two quickly completed today's task and prepared to leave the fighting arena.
"You can train for two hours every day, and I will also assign you some strength training tasks." Emily arranged according to the housekeeper's condition today.
"By the time of the spring meeting, we will have basically met the Marshal's requirements."
Yaxiao nodded cooperatively, feeling instantly relieved.
It's finally over.
Practicing martial arts was very interesting, but controlling his strength to avoid hurting Emily was a bit tricky for him.
A few steps away from the gate of the fighting arena, Yaxiao seemed to notice something. He turned his head slightly, smiled at Nils who was not far away, and said hello.
The young boy didn't expect Yaxiao to greet him actively. He waved to him awkwardly, bowed quickly and ran away.
"Is he the kid you were chatting with before?" Emily glanced at the boy's back and her eyes swept across his hand with the laptop on it.
"Yeah." Yaxiao curled his eyes: "Niels and I both admire the marshal."
Emily knew very early on that Yaxiao admired the Marshal very much, which might be the reason why Yaxiao was not afraid of the Marshal like other butlers.
"The child's life was saved by the Marshal, no wonder he worships the Marshal." Emily replied casually after getting on the hovercraft.
Rescued by the Marshal
Yaxiao's blue eyes were a little confused. Nils had never told him about this, so how did Emily know about it
Emily saw Yaxiao's confusion and took the initiative to say, "The optical computer on his wrist is a model uniformly distributed by the Sixth Base Relief Institute. Only the orphans rescued by the Marshal at that time could receive optical computers from that batch."
Yaxiao suddenly realized.
To be honest, this world is as chaotic and cruel as the demon world. It is impossible for ordinary humans to survive outside the barrier. Of course, life inside the barrier is equally difficult. No matter which base, the thing that is most lacking is orphans.
Emily remembered that Yaxiao next to her was also an orphan from the Central City. She paused, skipped the previous topic, and changed the subject: "Not to mention the civilians who were rescued, even many officers in the Sixth Base Corps were rescued by the Marshal. The Marshal has been an excellent soldier since he went to the battlefield at the age of eleven."
"Then they should all admire the Marshal."
Yaxiao thought of the officer of the Sixth Base who was called Mad Dog, and curled his eyes. In the original plot, the officers under the villain really only listened to the villain's orders.
Emily did not deny it. She rubbed her thumb on the steering wheel and continued, "Well, the people in Central City regard the Marshal as a scourge. It is enough for us to know that the Marshal we admire is a leader worth following."
The hovercraft started slowly.
Yaxiao withdrew his gaze from Emily's determined profile. Thinking of her evaluation of the villain, he was thoughtful and said to the system in his mind for a while:
[Fourth Uncle, why do you think the villains want to destroy the Seventh Base? ]
[have no idea.]
Until all the villains in this book died, the protagonists still didn't find out the real reason why Qin Qi destroyed the seventh base.
The system was very puzzled. From the surface, Qin Qi really didn't look like a villain. He was just an extremely responsible marshal and the patron saint of the Sixth Base.
The protagonists did not believe that it was Qin Qi who destroyed the Seventh Base at first, and even thought that Qin Qi was acting on orders. But in fact, the people in the Elder Council did not give such an order.
Marshal Westar, the only person who might know the truth, also died on the battlefield not long after the villain's death.
At the end of the story, the protagonists only suspected that Qin Qi destroyed the barrier of the base for their sixth base. As to whether this guess is correct, no one knows.
[oh.]
Yaxiao nodded obediently in his heart.
[Host, are you curious about this? ]
The system was a little surprised. Although the host liked powerful villains, there were many beings in the demon world who were more powerful than Qin Qi, such as Yaxiao's biological father, the Demon King Orric.
In its opinion, although the host likes Qin Qi, it will not have any extra curiosity about him. At most, because of the demon value, it wants to protect the villain from many assassins.
[a little bit.]
Ya Xiao never hides his emotions.
He flicked his tail behind him, and suddenly thought of something, his blue eyes showed a little smile: [Fourth Uncle, if the villain survives to the end, I should know why he wants to destroy the Seventh Base, right? ]
[it should be OK?]
The system said uncertainly that the plot ended in two years. If the villain had not committed suicide on the battlefield, maybe we could really know
[That's good.]
Upon hearing this, Yaxiao felt a little excited, as if he had found something interesting. Even when he returned to the military building and stood in front of Qin Qi's office, the smile on his face still did not fade.
When the two lieutenants, Mist and Soren, came out of the office and saw Yaxiao, they were a little surprised.
"Yaxiao, aren't you going to Emily to practice fighting?"
Mist turned around and added the thick stack of information in his hand to the information Soran was holding, asking Soran to carry it. He asked with a smile, "Is it over?"
Soran next to him held the documents in one hand and nodded to Yaxiao as a greeting.
"Well, Emily said we'll continue tomorrow."
Yaxiao turned sideways to make way for the two adjutants.
Mist understood and smiled, saying, "The Marshal's morning work is over."
When Yaxiao heard this, his blue eyes curved into crescents, and he realized that he could enter the office now.
At the same time, Qin Qi in the office also heard the voices of the adjutant and Yaxiao talking outside the door.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the message on the computer screen, which was a report sent by Emily.
Emily switched to civilian work due to injury, so she was more than qualified to be a fighting instructor for a housekeeper.
Qin Qi should have taught this matter to Emily with complete confidence, but even he himself didn't know why he asked Emily to report on the butler's training every day.
Perhaps it was because Yaxiao had nearly been assassinated not long ago, or perhaps it was because the other party could have lived in a safer place and did not have to undergo such training.
Qin Qi glanced at the report and turned off the computer.
"Marshal, I'm back."
Yaxiao pushed open the door with a brisk tone and stood behind Qin Qi as usual.
According to Emily's report, Ya Xiao is very talented, although his strength is not enough, but at the current progress, he should be able to basically protect himself before the spring meeting.
Qin Qi's eyes passed across Yaxiao's smiling eyes. It was hard to imagine the fair and slender boy learning to fight.
"How about fighting?"
These words came out a little suddenly, but Yaxiao accepted them well. He said happily: "This is my first time learning it, and it feels very interesting."
"That's good"
Seeing that he didn't look forced, Qin Qi closed his eyes, rubbed his eyeballs with his hands, and said nothing more.
Yaxiao felt that since Qin Qi took the initiative to bring up the topic, he definitely wouldn't mind chatting with him, so he started talking about what happened today, such as how lively the fighting arena was, how he met a boy named Nils, and also mentioned Nils' dream of becoming an officer.
Qin Qi didn't reply, but one could feel that he was listening quietly.
Yaxiao liked this very much.
When in the demon world, no demon would have the patience to listen to another demon talking about boring things. Instead of talking, they preferred to fight with powerful demons. Fourth Uncle was an elderly retired commander who had to sleep for nearly sixteen hours a day. Alone, Yaxiao played by himself most of the time.
But Qin Qi would always listen to him talk about this.
It would be great if I could take Qin Qi with me when I leave, Yaxiao thought secretly.
"You won't say anymore?"
Hearing the office fall silent, Qin Qi suddenly spoke up.
"Well, Marshal, you can rest for two hours."
Yaxiao estimated the time and knew Qin Qi's next work schedule. He squinted his eyes and said, "I'll remind you when the afternoon meeting is about to start."
Qin Qi hummed.
The butler talked a lot, but perhaps because the boy's voice was always filled with a smile, he didn't feel bored.
"If you study martial arts seriously, I will check on your training before the spring meeting."
After a moment, Qin Qi suddenly spoke.
"Marshal, do you want to fight me?"
Yaxiao was instantly excited. Fighting against the villain! This is awesome!
Qin Qi raised his eyelids and looked at Yaxiao, wanting to deny the other party's idea and explain that he was just a bystander, but when he saw the expectant light in the boy's eyes, Qin Qi paused and did not deny it.
It’s all acceptance anyway, so you can do it yourself.
If Yashao can take training seriously and be able to protect himself in the spring meeting, then the goal will be achieved.
[Host, calm down.]
The system held up its reading glasses tremblingly. This was clearly not a scene that should be joyful, right? If the strength was exposed, it would not be a joke!
[Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I know my limits.]
Yaxiao's mind was full of the agreement to fight with Qin Qi, his eyes were full of Qin Qi, and his tone seemed a little perfunctory.
Fighting against a strong person is what every demon dreams of, okay? !
Ever since he made an appointment with Qin Qi to practice sparring, Yaxiao has been very active in learning fighting techniques. Apart from following the villains every day to collect demon points, the only thing on his mind is learning human fighting skills.
The only regret is that due to the limitations of the butler’s personality, he cannot use magic, nor can he do things beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, but being able to fight with the villains is a super happy thing in itself!
Yaxiao wished he could wake up the next day and find it time for the villain inspection.
As the person closest to Yaxiao, Qin Qi could of course sense the housekeeper's recent emotional fluctuations. Although he didn't know why the other party was so excited, he did not regret what he had promised Yaxiao before.
Time passed unknowingly and the agreed day came. That night, Qin Qi brought Yaxiao, who looked expectant, to the second floor of the villa.
There is a fighting room specially used for training on the second floor. Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi who was already wrapped in bandages and was eager to try.
Seeing how excited Yaxiao was, the system kept repeating in its mind in a panic: [Host, you are an ordinary person. You have just learned fighting for two months. You are not strong. You must remember that you are an ordinary person...]
[I know. I know.]
Yaxiao nodded in his heart, his eyes shining. After the villain stood still, he kicked him directly.
Qin Qi took two steps back to avoid the attack, raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to think that Yaxiao's action was good.
One of them wanted to test the other's strength, while the other suppressed his true strength and tried to compete with the other with the physical fitness of an ordinary person. For a moment, it was difficult to tell the winner.
As his body grew hotter, Yaxiao became more and more excited. He raised his legs and hooked them around Qin Qi's neck, trying to clamp him down and pull him to the ground.
Qin Qi did not resist and fell to the ground under Yaxiao's force. His eyelashes drooped slightly. Although his strength was not enough, for a new learner, it was really good to be able to achieve this level.
This shows that the butler is practicing seriously.
Feeling the restraint on his neck getting tighter and tighter, Qin Qi raised his hand to grab Yaxiao's ankle, then turned around and pushed him to the ground.
Yaxiao wanted to pull his feet out, but was held by a strong grip and could not move.
His chest heaved up and down, his face was covered with hot sweat from exercise, he looked up at the man on his body, his blue eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky.
The villain is really strong!
Qin Qi looked at the sweat and smile on the black-haired boy's face. He paused and let go of his hand:
"You did well."
As he was about to stand up, a leg hooked around his waist. Qin Qi's body stiffened instantly. The black-haired boy didn't seem to find this action strange at all. His beautiful blue eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Can we do it again?"
