Ya Xiao watched the whole thing with a thoughtful expression.
[Host, what's wrong?]
After the system placed the video, it took time to come back to see the host contemplating something. It looked at the video screen and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
When the three of them were talking, the system was also present, not sleeping on standby. All three marshals vaguely revealed their dissatisfaction with the border bases between their words, but they were also considered somewhat sensible and did not explicitly say so.
The system didn't find anything wrong with these people's exchanges, and there was nothing wrong with Delbo.
"Delbo seems to be leading the other two marshals to feel dissatisfied with the border bases."
[Is that so?]
The system was a bit confused when it heard this, how did it not see it?
The system was data after all. Even after living for thousands of years, it still didn't understand human emotions.
But it knew that the host, as a demon, was born with a keen sense of all kinds of malice and enticement.
The system rewatched the video and found that although Delbo was persuading Cheng Di and telling him not to be afraid, in reality, his persuasion had instead deepened Cheng Di and Guwen's distrust of the border bases.
It was a bit too forced.
Delbo, whether it was his expression or tone of voice or the content of his words, was not at all out of place. It was only the result that led to some problems, and it was not possible to judge what was wrong with Delbo because of this.
Ya Xiao also knew this. He didn't pinpoint this and continued to watch the following progress at multiple speeds, but there wasn't much to watch from here on out.
Delbo had returned to his battalion after his exchange with his two companions, and though he was outwardly frivolous and had little sense of propriety, he was reliable in the battalion and handled its affairs with great care.
It was no wonder that he succeeded his father's position and was firmly seated as the First Base Marshal.
By the time four o'clock rolled around, Delbo had temporarily handed everything over to Adjutant Lake and took a half-hour nap himself before waking up to train the battalion again.
So far, there was something strange about Delbo, but it was also in the realm of normal.
After all, most of the base's marshals were not quite normal, such as the crazy Cheng Di, the daily handmade confessions of Wista, and then the mysterious Qin Qi.....
In comparison, Delbo could not be called problematic.
Ya Xiao pondered, his hand unconsciously placed on his leg and lightly tapped. Then, he glanced at the time in his optical brain. He stopped thinking about it and directly used a Great Demon Experience Voucher, intending to head next door to look for Qin Qi.
[Host, what are you going to do?]
The system was a bit curious.
"It's not 11 pm yet."

Seeing Ya Xiao's blue eyes penetrating a few points of excitement, the system guessed what the host seemed to want to go and do. It immediately stopped asking more questions and advised, [Host, pay attention to safety.]

However, unlike the worried system, the demon only found it exciting.
Ya Xiao put on his favorite clown mask, lightly pushed open the window, and jumped out.
It was just ten o'clock now. Although under the pretext of needing to rest, Qin Qi told the butler to go back to his room, but in fact, Qin Qi didn't fall asleep. Instead, he was concentrating on composing the plan for the training of the recruits on his optical brain.
It was too weak.
With the current level of military academy students, even if the intensive training was over, there was no way that these students would have the ability to go straight to the battlefield. It would only be a dead end, giving their heads to the demonic insects.
The ability of the military academy students must be pulled up as soon as possible. Qin Qi's eyes deepened slightly, and it was the same for the recruits in any battalion.
Tapping down the last word, Qin Qi closed the optical brain and was about to rest when his gaze suddenly looked out the window.
At the same moment, the window was tapped twice.
Without waiting for Qin Qi to go ahead and open the window, the window bolt was pulled up with a cackle. In the next second, the young man lightly stepped in from outside the window, skillfully as if he were entering his own home.
"Good evening, Marshal."
Knowing by heart that the marshal had to be in bed by eleven o'clock or else he would lose sleep, Ya Xiao greeted the marshal, intending to make quick work of it so as not to disturb the villain's rest.
"Hm, good evening."
Qin Qi's eyes were not surprised when he saw the mysterious young man who made a sudden visit. His expression sunk slightly, "Something happened over at Delbo?"
"Marshal, are you hoping for something strange on Delbo's side?" The eyes of Ya Xiao, who was disguised as Ya Bu, lit up. He took the opportunity to set up a conversation, hoping that the other party would satisfy his curiosity.
The dark-haired youth's tone was teasing with a light chuckle.
Qin Qi only thought that Ya Bu was poking fun at himself as he responded lightly, "You're joking. Regardless of whether or not the other party makes a move, it's not a good thing for us."
Understanding, Qin Qi had already acquiesced that Delbo was on their opposite side.
Ya Xiao curled his eyes. He didn't linger on this matter much.
"I didn't come here for Delbo."
There wasn't much he knew about Delbo's affairs, and it would be wrong to say more.
Although Ya Xiao liked excitement, he didn't want Qin Qi to really notice that something was wrong and cause him to accidentally roll over.
It was enough to know that Qin Qi was very wary of Delbo.
Through the clown mask, Qin Qi was unable to see the smile on Ya Bu's face. Naturally, he did not know that the youth's beautiful blue eyes looked like his own butler's when they curved up.
Hearing that Ya Bu had not come for Delbo, Qin Qi frowned, multiple speculations flashing through his mind before he heard Ya Bu's voice with a smile ring out:
"Marshal, you've found out all the information about Geping, haven't you?"
Geping?
Qin Qi did not expect Ya Bu to suddenly bring up this person.
Last night, he had already mentioned it to Ya Bu himself. He had sent someone to check on Geping, and the other party was not one of the supporters.
What Sheng Cheng had said was just a confusion bomb.
"There's a problem with Geping's identity?"
Qin Qi's voice sank slightly.
Whether there was a problem with Geping's identity or not, Ya Xiao didn't know, so of course, he couldn't possibly answer the villain's question, but Qin Qi's attitude like this made him even more certain that Qin Qi was very unfamiliar with Geping.
Ya Bu didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Qin Qi's mood plummeted. For a split second, he thought of the two names of Geping and Elliton that Sheng Cheng had specifically confessed to in the first place.
Elliton was a supporter, but Geping was an ordinary identity. Why would that being behind Sheng Cheng involve Geping, an ordinary person?
This thought was problematic.
But no matter how Qin Qi checked, Geping's identity was just ordinary. It was because he didn't understand this that Qin Qi chose to cooperate with Ya Bu.
Choosing to let this mysterious and powerful youth who claimed to share the same purpose as himself spy on Delbo, lest the situation go completely out of control.
Ya Bu's silence also made Qin Qi realize that Geping really wasn't as simple as the information. His complexion was obscure and hard to discern. Before he could figure out the trick, he heard the young man lengthen his tone and say slightly briskly:
"I don't know oh, I also don't know if there is any problem with Geping's identity."
"But, I know that Geping is familiar with the marshal. Would the marshal like to think about whether you have any other elders?"
Qin Qi paused for a moment, looking at the young man in front of him who was sitting in a chair with a relaxed and calm demeanor.
It was obvious that Ya Bu knew something. Although the other party mouthed that he was not sure, Qin Qi preferred that the youth did not intend to intervene in this matter before saying so.
"I understand. I'll send someone to check again."
Qin Qi's thin lips pursed slightly, his dark eyes sullen.
That person behind Sheng Cheng obviously knew Geping's identity, which was why he would directly let Sheng Cheng pick it out.
Other.... elders?
A thought flashed through Qin Qi's mind, and he instantly clenched the eyeball that had appeared in his palm at some point.
Ya Xiao clearly told Qin Qi that he didn't know Geping's identity, bluntly shirking all responsibility.
Noticing Qin Qi's expression, Ya Xiao was finally satisfied. Geping's identity should be known soon by himself!
He wouldn't put his eggs in one basket. Good demons would always utilize multiple ways to satisfy their curiosity!
Ya Xiao thought. Glancing down at the time, 10:30. Hmm, that should leave plenty of time for the villain to get some sleep.
Qin Qi was sitting on his bed with his head down in deep thought.
A mouth grinning with an exaggerated smile mask suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Qin Qi looked at Ya Bu who deliberately bent down to meet his eyes. His body tightened, and he raised his gaze faintly.
The masked young man took a step back as he straightened his body, his tone carrying a smile, completely unaware of the fact that he had just narrowly escaped being attacked by Qin Qi, still happily saying, "Marshal, I'm going to leave first. Good night, have a good dream!"
Only when Ya Bu stepped on the window frame and leapt up to leave did Qin Qi loosen the eyeball in his hand.
The young man's mask wasn't scary. Qin Qi thought that the pattern of the mask was a bit quirky and cute.
What really made him wary was that the other party appeared in front of him silently.
Ya Bu's concealment strength was very strong, but not so strong that he was completely unaware of it. Logically, Ya Bu was not anyone around him so he wouldn't relax vigilance towards him like with the fragile Ya Xiao.
Qin Qi pondered for a while to no avail and could only attribute everything to the fact that he was too immersed in his world just now.
He couldn't let his guard down for a moment.
Qin Qi warned himself inwardly, turning to open his optical brain and sending a message to Mist.
[Arrange for Geping to meet me tomorrow.]
[Can't reveal anything.]
[Okay!]
Mist replied quickly.
Qin Qi closed the lighted-up optical brain, his dark eyes sullen.
Since Ya Bu had deliberately reminded himself, it meant that Geping's existence was extremely important.
Even if he was unable to find out the identity of the other party, he had to protect Geping as soon as possible.
