The door to the room opened and closed.
Qin Qi's gaze fell on the closed door of the room, darkness floating in his black eyes, deep and bottomless.
The feeling from earlier was still lingering in his palm.
He seemed to care too much about Ya Xiao's presence. Qin Qi thought of the black soup that Ya Xiao had specially made for himself and suppressed the many thoughts in his mind.
Ya Xiao was responsible, and he was an excellent butler.
That shouldn't be a reason to affect himself. Qin Qi closed his eyes, rubbing the eyeball in his hands in an attempt to dispel the touch in his palms.
He still had a lot of things to do. Qin Qi gradually regained his composure and began to take care of his official business.
He waited until twelve o'clock in the morning had just arrived.
There was a thud at the window.
Qin Qi slightly turned his head sideways and saw a young man wearing a clown mask knocking politely on the window.
This was the eighth floor.
But to this powerful mysterious young man, Ya Bu, infiltrating the heavily guarded military academy from the outside world was as easy as a slap in the face, and such a height was nothing.
Qin Qi opened the window lock and took a step back, and the young Ya Bu outside the window lightly jumped in.
"Marshal, excuse me."
Ya Xiao, who had turned into Ya Bu, curved his eyes.
"It's fine."
With the mask covering him, Qin Qi couldn't see the smile on the youth's face as he gestured for the other party to sit down and talk in detail.
Facing his future collaborator, Qin Qi's attitude was polite, not to mention the fact that this one had also used mysterious means to stop him from losing control and was considered his benefactor.
Ya Xiao sat on the chair and watched as Qin Qi pulled the curtains closed, then walked to sit across from him. His every move was characterized by the sharpness and vigilance of a soldier. He even deliberately kept the distance from each other.
Obviously, the villain was still wary of Ya Bu.
While Ya Xiao was observing Qin Qi, Qin Qi was also observing Ya Xiao.
The young man with hair braided into a scorpion braid in front of him had a calm demeanor seemingly familiar with this place without a hint of being rushed.
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.
The young man was confident in his formidable strength.

Without waiting for Qin Qi to continue talking about the contents of the cooperation, the youth's meaningful question resounded in the room:
"I'm curious, Marshal, you refused to cooperate with me in the first place, why did you suddenly change your mind this time?"
"Coincidence."
Qin Qi's voice was calm and steady, but the content could be said to be extremely perfunctory.
However, Ya Bu nodded in understanding as if he had gotten an answer.
Wasn't it just a matter of running into trouble?
Ya Xiao indicated that he understood it very well.
Seeing that Ya Bu had no other questions, Qin Qi continued to talk about the cooperation between the two of them.
"You should know all those things."
What things?
Ya Xiao was confused but didn't show any sign of dissent because he wanted to maintain his persona.
Qin Qi had already tacitly agreed that Ya Bu knew everything, whether it was stopping him from losing control when he left the Elder Council or Sheng Cheng and the gang of assassins, all of them revealed that Ya Bu knew a lot of things.
Perhaps he knew even more than himself.
"I want you to keep an eye on Delbo."
Delbo?
"That lord" had once told Sheng Cheng to blame everything on Delbo.
Qin Qi asked himself to spy on the other party. Was he confused by Sheng Cheng's words or was there really something wrong with Delbo?
"Got it, but...."
Ya Xiao's brain was spinning extremely fast, but on the surface, he nodded calmly. He felt that the villain should have tacitly recognized that he knew what he was up to. Since that was the case, he certainly couldn't ruin his image in the villain's mind!
Qin Qi raised his eyelids to look at Ya Bu and then he heard the unpredictable youth say with a smirk, "But is it really good to let me keep an eye on Delbo?"
"Hm, only you can spy on him."
Qin Qi knew that Ya Bu wouldn't be easily discovered.
If he was really discovered....
Qin Qi was rubbing the eyeball in his hands, that could only mean that the situation was more serious than he thought.
"Alright."
Ya Xiao wasn't surprised to hear the villain say this. After all, Delbo was a marshal. His strength wasn't weak, and it naturally wasn't easy to find the right person to spy on him.
"I will eliminate the supporters in the central city as soon as possible."
Qin Qi indicated his next plan to his collaborator.
Of course, he didn't say anything more than that.
Ya Xiao felt that Qin Qi should still be wary of Ya Bu, or rather, of everyone.
After all, whether it was the supporter or Delbo, Qin Qi had not revealed any important information from the beginning to the end of the exchange.
Ya Xiao looked at Qin Qi who kept his mouth shut, lengthened his tone, and laughed softly, "Marshal since we are collaborators with the same purpose, shouldn't you tell me what you are going to do on Geping's side?"
The building collapsed, Geping died, and the clues were interrupted... according to the plot of the original book, Geping was the villain's man. Since he would die, it was very likely that it was because he did something he shouldn't have done. Otherwise, how could a head of the military academy's logistics department suddenly die for no reason at all?
Maybe Qin Qi instructed Geping to do something.
Ya Xiao was very curious about this and couldn't help but test the other side, observing the man's expression.
Qin Qi's fingers that were kneading the eyeball paused slightly.
Ya Bu even knew about his meeting with the Elder Council, so it didn't seem too difficult to find out what Sheng Cheng had revealed.
"Geping checked, there's no problem."
Qin Qi said indifferently, "Elliton, on the other hand, will be disposed of based on the supporters."
The only two supporters that Sheng Cheng had revealed at first were Geping and Elliton.
Currently, Ya Bu was his collaborator, and there were some things he naturally wouldn't hide.
"Okay."
Ya Xiao's voice tracelessly paused for a moment.
The marshal had checked out Geping? Wasn't Geping one of his people?
And who was Elliton?
Ya Xiao was a bit confused. The name of the person did not appear in the plot. All that could be determined now was that the villain and Geping should not be too familiar with each other at the moment.
Then, what about the main group's suspicion that Geping was the villain's subordinate when the military academy building collapsed in the plot?
But for the moment, these things didn't matter as Ya Xiao looked at the man in front of him and silently puffed out his chest, rather proud of himself.
He was the villain's collaborator now!
It was a good sign that some information was now known, maybe he'd find out the truth soon enough!
"Is there anything else, Marshal? If there's nothing, I'm leaving." Ya Xiao said in a chirpy mood.
Qin Qi had thought that Ya Bu should have many things he wanted to ask, but the other party didn't seem to have that intention.
"Nothing."
Qin Qi felt more and more that the other party was unfathomable.
Ya Xiao, who had received the marshal's reply, felt that he was already fine, so he waved his hand and jumped down from the window.
The slightly cool night breeze burrowed into the room.
Qin Qi stood by the window. It was pitch black outside, and Ya Bu's figure had long since disappeared.
Meanwhile, Ya Xiao, who had already turned into a younger body, returned to his room and called out to his Fourth Uncle in his heart.
[Don't worry, host. Guaranteed to complete the mission!]
This was its old job, the system said, [I will immediately report to you if there are any movements on Delbo's side.]
"Hard work, Fourth Uncle."
The tail behind Ya Xiao wagged a bit as he said happily.
There was clearly some kind of crisis on the villain's side.
Ya Xiao waited until Fourth Uncle left and thought about it, and then carefully flipped through the plot. After determining that there was no plot similar to the villain being injured in the military academy, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay. The villain wasn't injured, so the rate of demon value absorption wouldn't decrease!
The next thing he had to do was to be on the same side as the villain, learn the villain's true purpose, and satisfy his curiosity!
