Chapter 27.2
Wista politely offered his advice, "Qin Qi, it's not a big deal at my base, but if you're going to the central city or other bases, it's best not to take it out in public."
Wista was a person who advocated freedom the most, but advocating freedom didn't mean being brainless. Qin Qi had a bad reputation. If people saw that the Sixth Base marshal liked to pinch eyeballs, it was expected that another wave of rumors would spread.
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Ya Xiao's eyes were also full of questions.
No, do you two actually think there's no problem whatsoever in playing with this kind of thing?
Wista, under the questioning gazes of the two, drifted off thinking that maybe he hadn't caught up with the world's aesthetics.
After a moment, he slowed down, "Well.... it's nothing. You can take it if you want, just don't crush someone's eyeballs on the spot and splatter blood on my face. I'm still a bit behind on the trend right now."
The cold gaze fell on Wista.
Wista, who was usually accustomed to running gags with his subordinates, immediately tensed his body and secretly screamed. He looked through his sunglasses to Qin Qi sitting on the sofa and obediently admitted his mistake, "I said the wrong thing. Big brother, calm down... Why don't I take off my eyes for big brother to vent his anger?"
"Use your brain before you speak."
The decompression toy in Qin Qi's hand was instantly pinched out with countless threads of blood. In Ya Xiao's opinion, if this eyeball was not a mall product, the blood eyeball would explode on the spot with this force.
Wista gulped, and his expression was sincere: "Okay, big brother."
So fierce ah, it seems that this guy is doomed to not be able to pursue a girlfriend and would scare the butler away again.
Wista turned his head and just wanted to smile and explain to Ya Xiao that it was just Qin Qi's joke and not to be afraid.
In the next second, he saw that the butler's eyes seemed to be glowing when he looked at Qin Qi, without any hint of fear.
Wista: ......
It turns out that this butler really didn't speak polite words to him just now.
"Have they arrived?"
Hearing Qin Qi ask about business, Wista came back to his senses. He nodded and picked up the folded paper on the table. A paper crane appeared between his hands as he casually said, "They've arrived, and the other two bases have already registered their information."
The other two bases, the Fourth Base and the Eighth Base.
They came quite early this time.
Qin Qi gave a hmmm.
Seeing this bland attitude of Qin Qi, Wista remembered what he had heard his subordinates talk about earlier â the taboo person from the Fourth Base had gotten out of control in the Sixth Base.

When the time comes to bring Qin Qi along, he is responsible for speaking out, and Qin Qi is responsible for deterring by force, oops, just thinking about it makes me energized.
Wista's speed of folding the paper cranes got faster.
Qin Qi and Ya Xiao didn't stay in the military building for a long time. They left the building after about half an hour.
As the host, the Fifth Base had prepared separate temporary residences for the participating bases and had also thoughtfully divided them into different floors not far from the meeting venue.
Mist, Soren, Emily, and a bunch of other subordinates resided on the eighth floor, while Qin Qi and Ya Xiao were on the ninth floor.
"Marshal, take care of your rest."
After Ya Xiao helped Qin Qi organize his luggage, he offered to leave, not staying for the night as he did at the base.
Thinking about not being able to accumulate demon value at night, Ya Xiao was still a bit reluctant for a while, but there was no way around it, he was still planning to tackle the assassin, and it would be a bit troublesome to share a room with the villain.
Hearing that Ya Xiao would be leaving soon, Qin Qi was stunned for a moment, but he recovered in a whirlwind. It was indeed late, and the room did not have any extra bedboards, so it was not convenient for the butler to stay at all.
He gave a hmmm and sent Ya Xiao away.
He originally didn't feel it yet. When Ya Xiao left, the surroundings seemed to have suddenly quietened down quite a bit, but such discomfort was only for a moment. Thinking about tomorrow's meeting, Qin Qi's eyes sank slightly.
He opened his optical brain and took out the documents he had already prepared and added a few more strokes.
The black bone insects must be resolved as soon as possible.
On the other side, after going to his room, Ya Xiao began to call out to his own Fourth Uncle in his mind.
The system quickly sent a voice back: [Host, I'm here.]
Ya Xiao had a few smiles in his eyes when he heard Fourth Uncle's voice. After letting the system block all the surveillance in this room, Ya Xiao asked with excitement, "How is it Fourth Uncle, is there any abnormality on Xiao Chen's side?"
[There is, as the host guessed, she is indeed one of the assassins.] The system wore its old-fashioned glasses and said in a firm tone.
Unlike Sheng Cheng, who was disguised as an officer of the Sixth Base waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the Marshal, Xiao Chen appeared to be much more careless, revealing a lot of information while communicating with her companions with her optical brain.
[They are working in a gang. I learned from Xiao Chen's side that there are a large number of people involved in this matter. There is even a specialized lair in the Fifth Base.]
Ya Xiao was not surprised to hear this. After all, in the plot, there was more than one assassin who tried to assassinate Qin Qi at the border meeting. They were all spread out in different industries, and they must have a common organization to be able to act together at the border meeting.
"Fourth Uncle, did you find out where the nest is?"
Ya Xiao was very excited. If he solved this matter directly tonight, he wouldn't have to worry about Qin Qi being assassinated at the border base later!
[Not yet for the time being.] The system paused for a moment, [But I saw that the person who spoke with Xiao Chen will be going to the butler meeting tomorrow.]
"Is that so?"
Ya Xiao crossed his legs and pondered for a moment. After a few seconds, he said seriously, "In that case, I'll have to make a trip to the meeting tomorrow."
The butlers' meeting was actually meaningless to Ya Xiao, but it was different now. He could take the opportunity to get close to Xiao Chen's companion and extract information from the other party.
Although Fourth Uncle was very powerful, Ya Xiao couldn't afford to leave everything to Fourth Uncle.
As for Qin Qi, Ya Xiao felt sure that the assassin wouldn't be stupid enough to strike on the first day when the guards were at their tightest, but just in case, Ya Xiao still said, "Fourth Uncle, keep on guarding Xiao Chen's side to monitor her."
"The two of us will split up when the time comes!"
Ya Xiao's blue eyes curved slightly and the tip of his tail slapped the bed behind him.
[Okay.] It was rare for the system to be able to help the host, so once it could, it would definitely do its best.
After consulting with Fourth Uncle, Ya Xiao simply closed his eyes and rested. When he naturally woke up the next day due to his biological clock, he cleaned up a bit and found the villain to tell him about his intention to head to the meeting.
"Hmm."
Qin Qi looked down at the butler with smiling blue eyes and calmly said, "Have Emily follow you."
Both the butler meeting and the border meeting were held starting on the same day. Qin Qi had anticipated from the start that Ya Xiao would want to go to the butler meeting.
Although he didn't find the meeting interesting, it was said that it was a very sacred thing in the eyes of the butlers, so it was normal for Ya Xiao to want to go to it.
"Okay."
The dark-haired young man never seemed to object to his decisions. Qin Qi looked at the well-behaved boy, and his fingers wrapped in black gloves involuntarily twitched.
His throat rolled up and down a bit, and his eyelashes drooped slightly before he finally warned, "Those butlers aren't always friendly to you, don't trust them with everything."
"Uh-huh! Okay!"
Ya Xiao looked up and gave Qin Qi a bright smile. Then, remembering something, he lifted the optical brain on his arm and sent Qin Qi a message, "These are the notes I asked that reporter yesterday. Marshal, you can take a look at them."
Notes on a white background filled the entire screen. Qin Qi glanced at it and knew that Ya Xiao should have listed many of them, "I'll read it."
Because they had to prepare for the border meeting, the two brothers soon came over to greet Qin Qi.
Ya Xiao, on the other hand, headed in a different direction from Qin Qi and the others after Emily came over and knocked on the door.
While on the way, Emily drove the hovercar and asked Ya Xiao as if she was making small talk, "Do you need to speak on stage at the butler meeting?"
"No need."
Ya Xiao shook his head.
The butler meeting is also known as the butler representative selection meeting.
This border meeting was to coordinate the border front before the spring meeting. When it came time for the meeting, everything would be in the interest of the border bases.
The butler meeting was for the same reason.
At the spring meeting, the butlers of border bases would also elect a common butler representative, who would appear on behalf of the butlers of the border bases and communicate with the butler representatives of the central city and the second-tier bases.
However, the butler representative wouldn't be changed once every few years, which was why Qin Qi commented that it wasn't interesting.
When Emily heard that Ya Xiao was not prepared to go on stage, she knew that the other party did not have the heart to compete for the butler representative, which was good.
Like Qin Qi, Emily also felt that Ya Xiao's character was simple and naïve with too good of a temper, and might be bullied by the other butlers and cry.
Their Sixth Base didn't have a good reputation, and they were very protective from top to bottom. They would never let go of anyone who bullied their base, but since Ya Xiao wasn't interested in being selected as a representative, it also meant that he wouldn't experience all the fighting between the butlers.
"In that case, you just eat and drink."
"I thought so too."
Ya Xiao curled his eyes, and thinking that he was going to approach Xiao Chen's fellow assassins to get information, he added, "I'd also like to make some more friends."
It was very much in keeping with Ya Xiao's simple and lively personality.
Emily continued to drive the hovercar with her eyes forward, not finding his comment odd.
After saying this, Ya Xiao suddenly thought of the two butlers he had met on the airship earlier.
Although they were the butlers of the Fourth Base, this exchange meeting was open to all border bases, so those two people should be there as well.
After thinking about it, Ya Xiao avoided Emily and sent a message to the two.
[Have you guys arrived at the butler meeting?]
Meanwhile, the two butlers, Zhao Ke and Ryan, who suddenly received the most unwanted message, glanced at each other and suddenly had an ominous premonition, but could only truthfully tap in, [Arrived].
[I'll be there soon. We can play together then!]
Zhao Ke and Ryan: ......
Thank you, I'd rather not.
