The black-haired butler's smile was genuine.
But Sheng Cheng was frightened when he saw Yaxiao's face. He felt that the other party would assign him a task in the next second: "Is... is that so?"
"It's good that I didn't do anything outside the door, haha."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Cheng immediately wanted to slap himself in the mouth. What the hell was he talking about
The smile on Yaxiao's face remained unchanged.
Sheng Cheng looked away with a guilty conscience and moved aside to let Yaxiao take his place: "Yaxiao, please go in first. We have something else to do next, so we'll leave first."
As he spoke, Sheng Cheng grabbed Witteding with his other hand, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
However, he did not pull Vitdin behind him.
Hurry up and go, what are you standing there for?!
Sheng Cheng cursed in his heart, but forced a smile and glanced behind him.
I saw Vitdin, who was following behind me, with a friendly smile on his face, taking the initiative to talk to the devil boss: "Yaxiao, you have been busy all morning and worked hard. The tea room has the latest juice today, I think you will like it very much."
The middle-aged man, who was always very perceptive, quickly determined that Yaxiao did not hear their conversation in the tea room. He pushed Sheng Cheng's hand away, moved closer to Yaxiao, and talked about a topic that interested his boss.
"Yeah?"
Yaxiao's attention was instantly diverted. He curled his eyes and asked excitedly, "What's the number of the juice?"
"I'll take you in."
As Vitdin spoke, he led Yashao towards the inner room of the tea room.
Sheng Cheng was standing alone outside the door, and instantly realized what Wittin was thinking. He felt unhappy. Although Wittin looked kind on the surface, he actually had a lot of ulterior motives.
Isn't the reason he flatters Yaxiao so much just because he wants to go to Central City with him during the spring meeting
Sheng Cheng hesitated for a moment, suppressed his anxiety and followed. Even if he didn't want to communicate with that hateful butler anymore, he had to go to the spring meeting.
The plan between myself and that adult cannot afford any mistakes.
Yaxiao took the juice handed over by Weiting, and turned to look at Shengcheng when he heard footsteps, and asked curiously: "Shengcheng, are you waiting for Weiting?"
"Well, I'm not busy now, so I'll wait for you and Witteding. It won't interfere with your work." Sheng Cheng smiled.
"No need, Shengcheng, just go back first."
Wittedin smiled innocently, with concern in his eyes: "Just now you said that the information is too much and it will take until tonight to finish it."
Sheng Cheng could hardly keep the smile on his face. He looked at Ya Xiao's thoughtful expression and smiled defensively: "It's okay, the information is very simple."
You are trying to trip me up now. When I leave later, you will tell Yaxiao to make trouble for me behind my back
You know, since Emily has already decided to go to the central city, the more likely it is that Vittin will go to the central city, the lower the possibility of him going to the central city will be!
The cunning Wittedin must have thought so too, and Sheng Cheng was filled with hatred.
Yaxiao blinked his eyes, seemingly not understanding their exchange, but inwardly he was observing the two with great interest.
Viterdin, the future member of the protagonist group, knows how to judge the situation very well and is a very ambitious person. As long as the villain camp does not fall, he will always be loyal to the villain, so it is normal for him to want to go to Central City.
Similarly, it is not difficult to guess why Sheng Cheng went to the central city.
In the original storyline, both of them went to Central City.
If you want to stop Sheng Cheng from causing trouble in Central City, the best way is not to bring him to the spring meeting.
However, after thinking about it, Yaxiao rejected this option.
Sheng Cheng is a very strange person.
Yaxiao recalled the plot. He originally thought that Sheng Cheng was just an assassin who wanted to kill the marshal but never succeeded, and later followed the protagonist group.
But as he analyzed the plot over and over again, Yaxiao gradually discovered that Sheng Cheng was not an ordinary person.
After Sheng Cheng killed Soran by chance, he was hunted by the Sixth Base, but he was still alive and well until the marshal died and the story came to an end.
You have to know that Sheng Cheng, a non-staff member who was separated from the protagonist group in the later period, had a low combat power and was just an insignificant character in the plot. How could he escape being hunted down again and again? Even many important characters in the protagonist group died in the later period.
This forced Yaxiao to raise the importance of Sheng Cheng.
Just take him there.
Yaxiao made the decision that since Sheng Cheng wanted to go to the spring meeting so much, it would be better to keep him under his watch.
If Sheng Cheng is not brought along, the other party may follow secretly, which may lead to more accidents.
Thinking of this, Yaxiao looked at Sheng Cheng who was mocking Vitedin in front of him, took a sip of the juice, and the sour and sweet taste exploded on his taste buds. Yaxiao couldn't help but reveal a smile in his eyes.
Anyway, in the original plot, all Sheng Cheng did was join an underground organization and kill his adjutant Sauron.
At that time, I only need to spend a little energy to stop Sheng Cheng, and it won’t waste too much magic power, which is still very cost-effective.
Moreover, he might be able to use Sheng Cheng to find out the reason why the Marshal destroyed the Seventh Base.
Of course, Yaxiao could actually directly control Sheng Cheng to know more things, but he had a hunch that doing so would consume a lot of his demonic value, and all his efforts during this period might be in vain.
Yaxiao immediately ruled out this option. After all, he could slowly observe and find out the truth.
No matter how interesting something is, it is not as important as his demon value!
"let's go!"
Yaxiao quickly finished the juice, threw the box into the trash can, and gave the two of them a bright smile with a very friendly attitude.
Did he really not understand my hint
Witdin looked at Yashao's reaction, and his kind smile became a little stiff.
Sheng Cheng glanced at Wittedin, suppressed the ridicule in his heart, and smiled at Yaxiao: "Okay, let's go."
When passing by Wittedin, he deliberately bumped his shoulder against Wittedin, just like treating a good friend, and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for, Wittedin? Go quickly, don't let Yaxiao wait anxiously."
Witdin's face was stiff. He watched Sheng Cheng leave behind Yaxiao, and he hurriedly followed.
It seems that this devil boss is not completely useless sometimes. At least he is too stupid to understand the words that are trying to defame him.
Sheng Cheng looked at Yaxiao who was walking in front of him, but before he could be happy for long, the young butler seemed to have thought of something. He stopped, looked at Sheng Cheng with his blue eyes, and suddenly spoke.
"Sheng Cheng, you don't have to help me look up information anymore."
Sheng Cheng:
Why? Could it be that Yaxiao actually understood Vitdin's hint at that time and therefore did not intend to assign him any tasks
Sheng Cheng's heart skipped a beat. If it were in the past, he might have been happy and at ease and would not have cared at all. However, now was the critical moment of the spring meeting, and Yaxiao did not assign him any tasks, which made Sheng Cheng have a bad feeling.
"W-why?"
"Because the spring meeting is coming soon."
Yaxiao looked at him sincerely: "So you don't have to help me look up information recently."
As the representative of the housekeeper, I have been very busy recently and have no time to look at the information that Sheng Cheng has found. I simply don’t let him check it, so I don’t have to waste time looking it up.
Sheng Cheng felt even more uneasy when he heard this. Did Yaxiao really not plan to bring him along for the spring meeting
The superficial smile on Witdin's face finally showed some sincerity. He patted Sheng Cheng on the shoulder as if he was very happy for him, and said with a simple expression: "That's great, Sheng Cheng, now you can have a lot of time to rest.
Sheng Cheng: You big-headed ghost.
The system watched as Wittedin and Sheng Cheng's emotions changed because of the host's words. It was silent for a moment: [Host, are you doing this on purpose?]
[Fourth Uncle, I don’t understand what you are talking about. ]
Yaxiao's blue eyes curved into crescents, and his tail swung a few times.
Seeing the host's expression, what else could the system not know? It raised its reading glasses and coughed a few times. The host is still a 400-year-old little devil who likes to play. Well, that's normal.
After having a pleasant conversation with the two assistants, Yaxiao walked briskly to the villain's office according to the time.
Qin Qi had just finished his work and rested for a few minutes when the housekeeper came in from outside. Qin Qi raised his eyelids and glanced at Yaxiao, and found that the boy seemed happier than usual, so he retracted his gaze.
There's nothing to ask.
Because soon the butler, who can no longer keep secrets, will reveal all the interesting things around him one by one.
However, this time, Yaxiao did not chat as he expected, but leaned over and reminded:
"Marshal, we can go downstairs now. Adjutant Mist has prepared the levitation device to take us to the institution for identity verification."
Yaxiao curved his blue eyes and looked down at Qin Qi.
When Qin Qi heard this, he realized what time it was. He hummed, stood up and left the office with the housekeeper.
High-risk taboo people going to the central city must be accompanied by a butler who has lived with them for three months before they are allowed to enter, and the inspection agency is responsible for verifying the existence of this step.
Although the verification process is not troublesome, it needs to be uploaded to the central city for review, which takes a long time.
By the time the review was successful, Yaxiao had already boarded the flying ship with the marshal and headed to the central city together.
For nearly a week, Sheng Cheng had not been assigned any tasks by Yaxiao. He originally thought that he had no hope and planned to find another way to get to the central city. However, who would have thought that when Yaxiao reported the assistant going to the central city, he actually took him along.
Thinking back on his uneasy mood during this week, Sheng Cheng always felt like he was being played around by Yaxiao.
"Great, now we can all go to Central City."
Witdin, who also came over, patted Sheng Cheng on the shoulder and said with a friendly smile.
"yes."
When his plan with that adult succeeds, he will definitely cut Vitdin and Yaxiao into pieces! Sheng Cheng suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
"Do you like Central City so much?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and Sheng Cheng's body subconsciously stiffened for a moment. Witdin next to him seemed very happy. He smiled at Yaxiao who was standing behind him:
"Central City is currently the most prosperous base for humankind. No one should dislike Central City."
No matter they are ordinary people or officers of the base, as long as they want to have a better life, they will try their best to squeeze into the central city. Unfortunately, the admission review of the central city is extremely strict. If ordinary people want to have the identity of the central city, they must have extremely high value in some aspect.
"But of course I still prefer the Sixth Base." Vitdin smiled innocently, but what he said was very against his will.
"me too."
Yaxiao responded with his eyes squinted. He had lived in the central city for a period of time, and in comparison, the Sixth Base with villains was more interesting.
He glanced to the left of the corridor, and outside the window was a desert sand, but as he got closer to the central city, he could occasionally see green forests and sparkling lakes outside.
Well, a very ordinary view.
Yaxiao withdrew his gaze. He just happened to pass by and talked to the two people to see if there was anything fun. There was nothing interesting outside now, so he said a few words to the two people and returned to the villain's room.
At this time, Qin Qi was talking to several marshals at the border base, and the upper bodies of the other three marshals were projected in the air.
Yaxiao quietly entered the room, took the opportunity to pour Qin Qi a cup of coffee, and then stood quietly behind him, not allowing himself to appear in the picture.
The two marshals could be heard talking back from time to time in the light curtain. Qin Qi ignored them and took a sip of coffee. When Westa and Wenbol were arguing with each other again, Qin Qi put down the cup and said in a deep voice:
"If there is nothing important, there is no need for us to continue the video call."
Westar immediately realized the warning in Qin Qi's words and immediately stopped talking.
Marshal Wen Boer of the Fourth Base was displeased with Qin Qi's tone and retorted, "Why is it unnecessary? I was also asking when you will arrive at the central city! I will arrive at five o'clock tomorrow morning, how about you?"
"Today."
It was rare for Westar to give Wenbol a favor.
Lu Chuanxi of the Eighth Base looked to the left, as if asking his subordinates for the specific time, and then said: "I will arrive in the central city tomorrow afternoon."
"today."
Qin Qi replied indifferently.
Wenbol's expression had visibly improved, and his slightly curly blond hair looked much more dazzling under the light.
"knew."
Wen Boer raised his chin and nodded proudly: "It's nothing, see you tomorrow."
As he said this, he immediately closed the communication, and instantly only two of the three projections in the air remained.
"What's wrong with him?"
Wista knitted the pink scarf with her fingers nimbly, and said with a sigh, "Didn't he take the initiative to send a video call? He just asked this question and left?"
Lu Chuanxi lowered his head to calculate the weapon data. When he heard this, he looked up and said, "I heard him say before that he is not very good at dealing with the three marshals in the central city and the second-tier base. He probably doesn't want to be the first to arrive."
Yaxiao was bored and listened to them gossiping. Following their conversation, he thought about the content of the plot.
In fact, the four marshals of the border base do not have a good relationship with the marshals of the inner circle base. In the plot, the protagonists have witnessed the marshals of the two sides fighting with real guns and swords at the spring meetings more than once.
In the most serious incident, Wenbol even had one of his arms chopped off.
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Chuanxi's explanation, Westar sneered, and the target of his attack was not Wenbol, whom he had always disliked, but the marshals in the inner circle:
"No wonder. Their marshals have weird tempers. Wenbol's IQ is not that high. How could he possibly defeat them?"
Lu Chuanxi didn't say anything after hearing this. He turned to look at Qin Qi, who was sitting on a chair kneading something, and said, "I will try to get to the central city as early as possible. If there is anything in the central city, remember to contact me."
"Um."
Qin Qi did not refuse. After Lu Chuanxi turned off the communication, only Vista's projection was left.
"Anything else?"
Qin Qi raised his eyelids and his eyes fell on Westa who was knitting a scarf.
Wista was wearing sunglasses as usual. He crossed his legs and knitted a scarf quickly.
"It's okay. I just want to ask, what are you going to do with your brother? I heard that a few months ago, you beat your brother half to death and didn't allow him to enter the Sixth Base."
Qin Qi's face darkened instantly.
Yaxiao was distracted at first, but when he heard these words, he immediately became alert, and the tip of his tail stood up slightly. When the protagonists were mentioned at this time, Yaxiao was really worried that Qin Qi's emotions would become unstable, causing his TH value to rise.
The watch has not issued any warning yet.
Yaxiao did not move forward, but just stared at Qin Qi's back.
"Do you know Qin Chen's movements?"
Qin Qi's tone was still calm, but he kept rubbing his eyeballs with his palms, using much more strength.
Weiss continued knitting the scarf. He grinned and said, "Don't be ridiculous. I don't believe you don't know where your brother is."
Qin Qi said calmly: "Well, I don't know."
The curve of Westar's mouth corners became smaller. He knew that Qin Qi attached great importance to his long-lost brother.
When the news came out that Qin Qi had severely injured his brother, Westa realized that Qin Chen must have done something to make Qin Qi so angry.
Now it seems that what Qin Chen did is much more serious than he imagined.
"Qin Chen is now in the third base. I heard that he will come to the central city in two days." Wista stopped knitting the scarf and said, his casual tone became more serious:
"If you don't want to see him, I'll stop him for you."
There was silence in the room for a long time.
After a while, a calm voice sounded.
"No, I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Wista observed Qin Qi's expression and found no flaws. He scratched the back of his head, crossed his legs and continued knitting the scarf, saying, "Okay, since you said so, let's do it this way. See you later."
The projection disappeared and the room fell into complete silence.
Yaxiao looked at the villain's tall and silent back. He thought about it and moved to the side.
Qin Qi was thinking about Qin Chen's purpose of going to the central city. Hearing the noise, he concealed his emotions, turned his head slightly, and looked at the butler who came to his side.
"Marshal, do you want comfort?"
The young butler opened his arms towards him, his beautiful blue eyes were like the dazzling stars in the night sky, and his curved eyebrows revealed a hint of tenderness.
Qin Qi instantly thought of the scene three months ago when Yaxiao held him in his arms and comforted him. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he looked away, his voice as calm as usual: "No need."
"All right."
Yaxiao confirmed that the villain's TH value was not affected, happily withdrew his hand, and took a step back.
Well, it seems that my younger brother will not have any influence on the villain now. Yaxiao thought about it and realized that when the protagonists met the villain in the central city, the villain was injected with an inhibitor and would not lose control.
Although the villain has not been injected with inhibitors now, based on Qin Qi's reaction just now, it seems that I don't need to be too careful
However, we still need to observe further.
Yaxiao made a decision in his heart. After all, the taboos of the villains were not clear at the moment, so he still had to pay attention to the protagonists to prevent anything from happening that would cause Qin Qi to lose control.
At the same time, inside the third base.
Wei Shi waved his hand and asked his younger brother to move the office's luggage, while he walked to Qin Chen's side.
"We should go now."
"I got it. Is there anything else you want to move?" Qin Chen rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bandage wrapped around his arm. There was faint traces of blood on it, and it was obvious that the wound had been opened again.
Even after three months of recuperation, there were still many unhealed wounds on his body, which was enough to show how badly he was beaten.
Qin Chen's face darkened a lot. He gritted his teeth, as if he thought of the scene of being beaten again.
Wei Shi saw the bloody bandages with a look of pity. When he looked up, he saw the pain and sadness hidden in Qin Chen's eyes. He pursed his lips and patted Qin Chen's back: "We are going to the central city now to find out the truth about the seventh base."
"Perhaps, Marshal Qin was wrongly accused, and the destruction of the Seventh Base had nothing to do with him."
Qin Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, with a bit of sarcasm and subtle dejection: "I hope so."
Although the possibility is close to zero.
