Ya Xiao didn't know what Sheldor was going to do next with Sheng Cheng.
Sheng Cheng's identity was somewhat mysterious.
Ya Xiao had deliberately led Kunge to suspect Sheng Cheng earlier with the intention of testing their relationship.
"Kunge and Sheldor are strangers to Sheng Cheng. Otherwise, Kunge wouldn't be wary of Sheng Cheng just because of a few words."
Ya Xiao could tell, at that time, that Kunge was genuinely urging himself to stay away from Sheng Cheng, so the club shouldn't have much to do with Sheng Cheng.
Then, what exactly was Sheng Cheng's purpose in approaching the vengeful organization formed by the survivors of the Seventh Base this time? Was it a coincidence that he had joined or was he simply trying to use them against the villains, or something else......
If his reminder could make Kunge and the others think that Sheng Cheng was a threat, that would be great!
When the time came for the organization and Sheng Cheng to fight, he might be able to discover Sheng Cheng's identity from it as well.
"Fourth Uncle."
After returning to his room, Ya Xiao changed his clothes and said to the system, "Sheng Cheng's side may have some movements lately. It will be hard for you in the next few days to stay beside the other party and monitor him at all times."
The system agreed immediately and then cut off contact with the host, diligently monitoring Sheng Cheng, who had already returned to his room and was working late at night.
Well, I have to say, Sheng Cheng is really miserable in a way.
The cause of all this, Ya Xiao, was not aware that he had caused a great impact on Sheng Cheng. He was lying on the bed and snapping his fingers. Looking at the panel of the nearly immobile demon value, he felt a pang of pity in his heart.
Recently, both he and the marshal have been particularly busy. Ya Xiao simply did not have the time to stick to Qin Qi to absorb demon value.
I'm not sure how much time I'll have to put up with this.
Tomorrow, I'll collect more demon values, and I'll be fine after this period! Ya Xiao consoled himself. Then, without further thought, he closed his eyes and entered a state of sleep.
Although demons didn't need to sleep, when they really wanted to rest, the quality of their sleep was extremely high.
The next morning, Ya Xiao knocked on Qin Qi's door in high spirits and continued his business of absorbing demon value.
Qin Qi saw the butler come in from outside. He faintly withdrew his eyes and took his jacket from the back of the chair next to him. He put it on and waited until Ya Xiao walked up to him. Then, he lowered his hand and let the other person help him fasten his buttons.
The fair fingers fastened the black and gold buttons one by one. Between his breaths, he seemed to be able to smell the faint aroma of the butler's body.
Qin Qi lowered his head and watched the black-haired young man's raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttering slightly. The pair of blue eyes as pure as glass beads were staring intently at the buttons, and when the buttons were fastened, his eyes unconsciously leaked out a few moments of pleasant smiles.
The dark-haired young man was easily satisfied.
At least among the people Qin Qi knew, only Ya Xiao would become pleased with such a simple little thing and make one's heart soften.
When the black-haired butler looked up, Qin Qi had already moved his eyes away as if it wasn't him who had been staring at the butler just now, making it impossible for anyone to detect any abnormality.
Qin Qi didn't stare at his butler again, but this time, it was replaced by Ya Xiao staring at Qin Qi, his burning gaze impossible to ignore.
Qin Qi looked at the butler who was very close to him. As long as he lowered his head, he could see the other party's delicate features and white, soft skin. Qin Qi's gaze crossed over the other party's face and finally landed on those eyes that had been staring at him, his tone was smooth as he asked:
We're sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we're going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Qin Qi's face did not change, calm as if it was not himself who stayed up for two days without sleep, "Why do you say that?"
Ya Xiao looked at the other party and answered truthfully, "Probably intuition?"
He looked at Qin Qi with unblinking eyes, his blue eyes as clear as a sparkling lake under the sun.
"I have a feeling that you have been a bit tired in the past two days."
Ya Xiao's sudden inquiry about the villain was indeed due to intuition.
Fourth Uncle wouldn't be watching Qin Qi all the time, and it was just a coincidence that he had bumped into the villain coming back in the middle of the night the day before. No one knew if the villain had gone out yesterday.
Ya Xiao looked at the TH value detector on the other person's wrist. In fact, today's Qin Qi was not different from usual, his mental condition and TH value are also normal.
But Ya Xiao managed to find a little bit of fatigue from Qin Qi's unreadable face.
This may be the demon's intuition, Ya Xiao thought happily.
Nothing can escape the demon's eyes.
Qin Qi gazed down at Ya Xiao.
He could see that the butler wasn't lying.
The fact that the butler noticed his exhaustion was something Qin Qi hadn't expected.
After all, if Qin Qi wanted to disguise himself, very few people would be able to see the cracks, even the two adjutants who had followed him since he was a general.
Qin Qi didn't say much, but simply returned, "Just didn't sleep well, don't worry."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao glanced at Qin Qi, then nodded his head as he raised his hand to smooth out the folds on the marshal's clothes as usual.
The soft fingertips slightly grazed the neck, and the touched area inexplicably tingled a little. Qin Qi covered the emotions in his eyes and pulled out the eyeball from somewhere, rubbing it in the palm of his left hand.
The tall man and the slender young man stood very close. The black-haired young man was seriously organizing his clothes. The man slightly bowed his head, his always cold temperament revealed a few points of gentleness. The warm sunlight passed through the glass, and time seemed to have slowed down.
Adjutant Mist saw this scene when he knocked on the door and came in. He paused in his steps, inexplicably feeling as if he had disturbed the marshal and the butler.
The two in front of the window were no different than usual. After Ya Xiao smoothed out the marshal's clothes, he moved a few steps to the side and gave Mist a bright smile.
Seeing that smile, Mist gradually relaxed his heart, only to think that the scene just now was his illusion.
"Let's go."
Qin Qi frowned slightly as he looked at the adjutant who stood motionless in the doorway, not sure why the other party had suddenly wandered off.
Mist, who heard this order, quickly returned to his senses as he answered and followed the marshal with Ya Xiao.
In the morning, Ya Xiao had only accumulated 0.8 demon value. Although he still thought that he wanted to accumulate more, he could only regretfully say goodbye to the marshal and leave because he had to participate in the butler representative meeting.
"I really don't want to part with the marshal."
Ya Xiao muttered in a low voice.
Mist, who happened to be beside him: ......
So Ya Xiao likes being with the marshal so much?
Although Mist had never been in love, as the heir of a noble family, he had definitely seen a lot. At least he knew that an ordinary butler would never voice out a sentiment like Ya Xiao's when faced with his employer.
Knowing that the relationship between a butler and his employer was basically the relationship between an employee and his boss, would an ordinary employee say 'I really don't want to part with my boss'?
Even if the employee admired the boss, he would never feel this way, would he? Being able to go on a business trip and get paid to slack off away from the 'office,' it's simply a great benefit, isn't it?!
And Ya Xiao actually thought of not separating from the marshal.
Thinking about the morning scene, Mist was somewhat in a trance. Could it be that Ya Xiao was interested in the marshal ......?
Mist looked at Ya Xiao. The words blocked in his throat were still swallowed back, maybe he overthought everything.
But he still wanted to ask ah.
Their marshal was single for so many years, and it was the first time someone was suspected of liking him.
Mist looked at Ya Xiao once again and then withdrew his eyes in hesitation. It's better not to ask. In case Ya Xiao didn't mean it, the image of him as a smart adjutant in Ya Xiao's heart would collapse.
Along the way, Mist's eyes went back and forth to Ya Xiao but he did not say a word.
It was only when Emily arrived that Mist parted from Ya Xiao with a slight sense of regret and returned to the hall.
"What happened to him?"
Emily raised her chin and looked meaningfully at Mist's back.
"I don't know. He's been weird since this morning." Ya Xiao shook his head truthfully.
Mist's matter was unimportant. Emily didn't dwell on it too much, driving the hovercar to drop Ya Xiao off at the butler meeting hall.
It was the third day of the start of the meeting.
Ya Xiao was currently familiar with the various processes and the issue of base butler allocation was a motion that would be brought up at a later stage.
Until the most important motions were presented, Ya Xiao didn't need to bother too much. He only needed to fulfill his normal power as a butler representative and contribute votes for some unimportant proposals.
When he entered the meeting hall, some of the representatives had not yet arrived. Ya Xiao looked around and saw Ariel waving at him. The smile in his eyes deepened a bit as he lifted his foot and walked over.
Seeing Ya Xiao walking towards her side as soon as he arrived at the venue, Ariel's gentle temperament softened even more. Her tone was cordial as if she was talking to a familiar friend, "You came very early today."
"Well, the marshal had something to settle this morning, so he went to the office early to work." Ya Xiao curved his eyes and truthfully stated the reason without the slightest hint of heart.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ariel complained as if unintentionally, but in fact, without any trace, she guided the other party to say more about Qin Qi: "The marshal is really working hard. My employer is just an adjutant. Every day, he is also busy and rarely has a break. I think that Marshal Qin should have more things to deal with every day in addition to meetings in the past few days."
Normally speaking, Ya Xiao should agree with her words at this time, chatting about the unimportant and bitter daily routines of her employer, unknowingly revealing to her the marshal's recent course of action.
In fact, as Ariel thought, Ya Xiao did nod rather agreeably, stating, "You're right."
However, when Ariel clutched a smile at the corner of her mouth, the other party had no intention of continuing and instead brought up other topics.
It was like this every time.
Ariel's expression on her face remained gentle, but she already wanted to directly dismantle Ya Xiao. It was like this every time as if she was fishing. Ya Xiao would always take the initiative to bring up the news of the marshal, only to change the subject when she wanted to know more.
This made Ariel feel that Ya Xiao was doing it on purpose. However, when she looked at Ya Xiao with skepticism, the black-haired butler still had the same simple and innocent expression as usual. She couldn't see that there was the slightest bit of intention.
Ariel didn't think Ya Xiao could fool herself.
However, the fact that the other party had not been revealing useful information made her feel rather powerless, but she couldn't help but maintain a relationship with Ya Xiao.
After all, the other party did talk about marshal-related topics under her guidance, even though it was all nonsense.
"Ariel, what's wrong with you?"
Ya Xiao asked suspiciously.
"Nothing."
Ariel shook her head and forced a warm smile back.
As if he didn't know what was bothering Ariel, Ya Xiao's blue eyes curved. Then, sensing something, he stood up and gave a polite greeting to the few representatives who came through the doorway.
"Good morning, Councilmember Coren, Councilmember Ed, and Councilmember Weir."
"Ya Xiao, you're early today too!"
"It's not Ya Xiao who's early, it's you who's late, isn't it!"
"And you have the face to talk about me?"
The three representatives bickered. It was obvious that they were extremely close.
All three were no longer young.
They were members of the Butler Council, the same council members who had pushed Ya Xiao to become Qin Qi's butler in the first place.
Perhaps because of guilt or perhaps because they wanted to have a good relationship with the border base, these three people were extremely nice to Ya Xiao.
Ya Xiao did not care about the three people's mixed thoughts. After all, in his view, in addition to Qin Qi, other people were basically irrelevant.
Of course, the few humans who were barely his friends were also a little bit more important than the others.
