Qin Qi will not cooperate with the mysterious person.
The other party was too unknown. Even if the purpose was the same as his own, he would not easily put his trust in it.
The two men stared at each other.
After a long time, the young man wearing a clown mask shrugged his shoulders rather sadly, "Alright, since you're not willing to cooperate then that's it."
Ya Xiao was not surprised by Qin Qi's refusal.
After all, Qin Qi had covered his purpose so tightly that even his own brother didn't know about it. It wasn't surprising that he would refuse to cooperate with him.
When Qin Qi heard this, his tight muscles loosened slightly.
The mysterious man's strength was very strong, and his character was unpredictable. He wasn't sure if his refusal would anger the other party, and so far, the youth didn't mind this.
"But....."
Just as he was thinking, the mysterious man's voice with a smile suddenly rang out. Qin Qi raised his dark eyes and looked over.
"Can we add friends?"
The black-haired young man wearing a clown mask spoke in a brisk tone, "If you have anything inconvenient for your subordinates to do, you can contact me."
Since they couldn't work together, adding friends would still protect the villain and wouldn't expose Ya Xiao's identity!
The corners of Ya Xiao's mouth, hidden under the mask, rose slightly.
One day, he would find out what the villain was trying to do.
This mysterious person named "Ya Bu" was too friendly to himself.
Qin Qi's eyes deepened as he watched the young man calmly raise his feet and walk in front of him.
"The initiative to contact me is in your hands." The young man pulled out an optical brain from somewhere, waved it at the marshal, and said in a slow voice, "Add or don't add, I respect the marshal's choice."
Qin Qi quietly looked at the youth wearing a white clown mask in front of him. It was difficult for him to guess the other party's true thoughts through the mask.
After a few moments, he raised his optical brain.
Qin Qi had only seen his butler's enthusiasm for adding friends, but his butler was just a simple and enthusiastic person who liked to make friends.
This eccentric youth in front of him was obviously not this simple.
Qin Qi leaned back in his chair and looked at the young man across from him, pondering the other party's purpose for approaching him.
"Then, I'll leave first."
After Ya Xiao added him as a friend, it was as if he had accomplished a great thing, and he put away his optical brain with satisfaction.
"Marshal can always contact me on the optical brain if there's anything."
"Hmm."
Although the young man's identity was mysterious, he currently had no malicious intent towards them, so Qin Qi naturally wouldn't stop the other party from leaving.

However, if Ya Bu was present, he would be even more unable to sleep.
Noticing Qin Qi's gaze looking over, of course, Ya Xiao wouldn't say what he was thinking in his head, but instead pulled something off the top of his head and said with a smile, "Marshal best protect Sheldor."
Qin Qi heard this and his fingers slightly paused, realizing that the mysterious man should have meant something. Something flashed through his mind as he let out a hmmm, "Got it."
Well, changing the subject worked!
Ya Xiao wasn't sure of the cause of Sheldor's death, but reminding the villain to be prepared was never going to be a problem.
Without further ado, he stepped over the ledge and jumped.
The black scorpion braid crossed in mid-air and looked beautiful in the moonlight.
Qin Qi retracted his sight with his usual face.
After Ya Bu left, Qin Qi was left alone in the entire room. The moon's light was gradually being covered by dark clouds, and silence and darkness filled the entire room.
Currently, the mysterious youth had no malicious intent. However, the other party's purpose was unknown and still required a high level of vigilance, but compared to Ya Bu, Sheldor's matter was obviously a bit more important.
Associated with the cooperation with Sheldor, Qin Qi's thin lips pursed slightly, and the color of his eyes obscured for a few moments.
After a long time, Qin Qi got up and left the room.
On the other side, when no one was aware of it, Ya Xiao circled back inside his bedroom with light feet.
[Finally returned.]
The system cried tears of joy. Heavens knew how nervous it had been while the host was using Ya Bu's vest to talk to the villain.
"Yeah."
Ya Xiao failed to empathize with the system as he sadly said, "It's simply too bad that I didn't use my Ya Bu identity to make an appointment with the villain."
His tail drooped in mourning at the thought.
And that was exactly what the system was thankful for.
The villain was too wary of Ya Bu right now. If they really fought, there was no guarantee that the host would not get caught.
The current young body form of the host had only recovered less than a quarter of its magic power and could barely fight with the villain, but it wouldn't last. If they really fought, the host would surely lose miserably.
Ya Xiao was naturally aware of this. He was just chatting casually. Well, actually, he only had a tiny bit of intention to take action. Just a little bit.
[Host, do you intend to protect Sheldor?]
The system asked suspiciously, thinking of what the host had just reminded the villain of.
Ya Xiao shook his head, "The villain's protection is just fine."
He had reminded the villain of this. If Sheldor still passed away in the end, it was either that Sheldor had really died by suicide or Sheldor's death did not matter to the villain.
Ya Xiao trusted the powerful villain a lot.
He believed that as long as Qin Qi still wanted to work with Sheldor, Sheldor would definitely not die.
[So that's how it is.]
The system nodded in understanding. When it saw the host sitting on the bed to undo the effect of the Great Demon Voucher and change back to a younger appearance, it lowered its voice and whispered, [Good night, host.]
"Good night."
Ya Xiao squinted his eyes and his deep blue tail swayed in the air for a moment.
The villain shouldn't be sleeping right now, but after all the things that happened at night, the other party should want to be quiet and alone more than anything else. The villain's TH value was stable now, within a manageable range.
After thinking about it, Ya Xiao temporarily rested the idea of collecting demon values. He opened the mall, and under the entanglement, bought another item in the shopping cart.
The points he had collected earlier were already running low, so he had to save them for the next few days or else he wouldn't be able to buy the new toys in the mall when they were uploaded.
Ya Xiao rolled over, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. In the haze of his consciousness, he thought that he would need to earn points again when he had the time to do so.
âNo little toy could escape the demon's hand.
Daylight came quickly.
Ya Xiao was glowing and went to knock on the door of the villain's room as usual.
Qin Qi was in the same state as usual.
Ya Xiao first observed the villain's TH value. Although it fluctuated a little, it was still normal. He completely put down his heart, raised his hand to help the villain fasten his buttons, and casually said:
"Marshal, didn't you rest well again last night?"
Qin Qi was well aware of the butler's strong observation. He did not deny it and faintly gave a hmm, avoiding the young man's inquiry-like gaze. His eyes naturally looked towards several boxes containing cufflinks and raised his hand with the intention of choosing a cufflink to put on.
Ya Xiao's attention was momentarily diverted when he eyed Qin Qi's movements.
"Marshal, what do you think of these cufflinks?"
Saying this, he took out the blue gemstone cufflinks that he had specially picked out in the mall. The shape of the cufflinks with the ghostly blue gemstone was somewhat like a ghostly ghost fire in the darkness, inexplicably transmitting a ghostly and eerie feeling.
The villain preferred to wear blue cufflinks during meetings, so when Ya Xiao selected a gift for the villain, he chose a style that was blue and fit his aesthetic.
"It's nice."
Qin Qi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, his eyes moving from the cufflinks to Ya Xiao's face, "This is for me?"
"Hmm, these cufflinks are made of a special material that has a bit of a refreshing effect." Ya Xiao revealed a bright smile to Qin Qi, "It can relieve fatigue. The marshal should be able to feel more comfortable when wearing it."
This was specially chosen by Ya Xiao last night.
Wanting to give it to the villain who had stayed up all night.
Qin Qi looked at Ya Xiao's clear and pure blue eyes. The knot in his throat rolled slightly up and down, inexplicably itching a little. He pushed down that discomfort and gave a low hmmm, stretching out his hand.
The corners of Ya Xiao's mouth rose, and he lowered his head to happily help Qin Qi put on his cufflinks.
A faint fragrance filled the air.
Qin Qi could see the slightly curled hair moving slightly in the air when he looked down. When it was fastened, the young man raised his head, and those dazzling blue eyes curved into a crescent moon, like a child waiting for a compliment.
"It's done, Marshal."
"I see."
As Qin Qi said that, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed the youth's soft hair. Then, he withdrew his hand with a calm expression and raised his step, "Let's go, it's time."
Ya Xiao, who was suddenly rubbed on the head, stood in place, and only realized what had just happened as an afterthought when Qin Qi was about to go out the door.
The tail wagged unconsciously.
It was as if Ya Xiao could still feel the warmth of his head. This was the first time the demon had been rubbed on the head.
[It feels kind of good.]
The system was napping in a rocking chair at this time and didn't hear the host talking to itself at all.
However, Ya Xiao didn't have to let Fourth Uncle answer himself. He followed Qin Qi with bright eyes and said in a cheerful tone, "Marshal, can you rub a little bit more?"
The youngster's expectant and eager expression was hard to resist.
Qin Qi, who was about to walk out of the door, paused at his feet and calmly said, "Why?"
"No one has ever rubbed my head. Marshal is the first. I feel very comfortable." The tail behind Ya Xiao wagged a little, bluntly telling his true feelings.
Qin Qi looked down at Ya Xiao.
He remembered that the butler was an orphan.
The head rubbing just now was just a whim of Qin Qi's. Since becoming a marshal, he rarely had such mood swings. Perhaps it was because the youngster's eyes were too bright that he unconsciously acted that way.
It was just a small thing.
Qin Qi naturally would not refuse. He once again placed his hand on Ya Xiao's head.
The black-haired youth raised his head slightly, his blue eyes transmitting a few pleasurable emotions, like a cat that had gotten what it wanted, rubbing against his master's palm affectionately.
That unexplainable itch arose again in Qin Qi's heart.
He curled his fingers slightly and withdrew them.
"Let's go."
Ya Xiao naturally had no problem with this.
He nodded contentedly and followed the villain's lead with a similar step.
Giving gifts to the villain actually had such a benefit. Ya Xiao pondered that he still had a bunch of little trinkets in his warehouse that he had bought for the villain and was in an even better mood.
Qin Qi, who was walking in front of him, did not know that he was about to receive a large wave of gifts. He recalled the emotions that he had just felt inside himself, and the disbelief in his eyes flickered, but he deliberately didn't think about it too much.
The two traveled together to the office where the base marshals were meeting.
Because he was going to a different meeting, it didn't take long for Ya Xiao to follow Emily to leave the building early and arrive at the meeting hall of the butler meeting.
