Chapter 265: After a few times, he understood

He Yi discovered that these people were very good at drugging. They might be hiding in food or drinking water. In short, they were colorless and odorless. Moreover, the amount of the drug and the length of its effect were completely at one’s whim.
He Yi signaled for Ji Xueshan to stop arguing with Claire. They were about to take action. What they should do now was to adjust their mentality and calm their emotions. When they went down to the underground palace later, every step was dangerous. Any emotion could lead to fatal negligence and mistakes.
The well-trained team finished reorganizing in less than a minute and was lecturing the crowd gently.
He Yi looked at him. The man who had gone missing for half a night had returned, and he had already recovered his appearance from the day.
The gentleness in the way he lectured the crowd was no different from his usual self. He was full of the conviction and nobility of a superior, and his manner of speaking was also very elegant. He spoke at a normal speed, and his eyes were clear and cold.
This was a strange thing. Combined with the gentleness he yi had seen last night, she discovered a new problem.
He Yi connected the events of the past few days together and made guesses and deductions. He found the gentleness of the night a little strange. But when he saw him in the early morning, he seemed to have returned to normal.
In other words, as long as the sun went down, the gentleness became strange. But when it was the wee hours of the morning, he was normal again. What did this mean? If after midnight, the evil spirit that possessed him disappeared.
He Yi raised her wrist, only to find that the hour hand was at 11:50. This meant that it was not midnight yet! The night was not over yet! It was really a strange thing that made no sense.
The doubts in her heart grew heavier and heavier. She was like a person who was walking through a dense fog, unable to find a clear direction. He Yi could only suppress these doubts and brace herself to deal with the current situation.
”... The underground palace is dangerous. One wrong step could cost your life, and it might even implicate the lives of your companions! I will absolutely not allow anyone to act without authorization! If acting without authorization causes danger, you will be killed immediately!”A trace of cold killing intent and cold light shot out from the gentle and indifferent eyes.
However, this kind of gaze was familiar to he yi. She knew that the gentleness in front of her was the real him! The cold light in his eyes was also his own sharp edge.
He was like a piece of beautiful jade polished by the passage of time. However, the coldness and arrogance in his bones still existed. From time to time, he would reveal his sharp edge that was deliberately hidden.
“Yes! We will absolutely obey Mr. Wen’s orders and arrangements! Anyone who makes a move without permission will be killed without mercy!”The mercenaries said in unison.
He Yi’s heart moved again. She realized a problem. Since Wen said that he had been to this underground palace before, then he definitely wasn’t alone at that time! If he could escape unscathed, then the people around him should be able to leave safely as well.
Then he should bring his subordinates who participated in the previous mission with him this time! At least after experiencing it, he would be more skilled in avoiding risks, saving time, and increasing the success rate.
However, from what he said just now, it seemed that there was no one who followed him among these mercenaries! Otherwise, he would more or less mention it. And the mercenaries who participated in the previous mission would also show some signs.
He actually didn’t bring the people who participated in the mission last time. Could it be that he was the only one who left the underground palace during the last mission?
He Yi could only buck up and be very careful. She followed behind everyone and walked along the corridor to the sleeping palace at the back.
It was said that the main hall of the harem used to be the Queen’s Sleeping Palace, and the Queen’s mausoleum was buried under her sleeping palace when she was alive. He Yi had no objection to this. After all, Wen he had once been to the underground palace!
As expected, they found the entrance in the middle of the platform of the bedroom. Wen he ordered someone to push open the iron plate covering the entrance, revealing the dark stairs inside.
He Yi turned around and saw that Ji Xueshan’s face had become very pale. She knew that she was very afraid now. Anyone would be afraid. “Xueshan, you stay outside!”
Ji Xueshan shook her head vigorously and said in a trembling voice, “I want to accompany you!”
Looking at her expression, he yi knew that if she stayed outside alone, she would be even more afraid. Hence, she suggested to wen wen, “Should we let Claire and Xueshan stay outside?”
Wen Wen thought for a moment and said, “If you want to take care of the ladies, you have to stay outside too!”
“No Need!”Ji Xueshan said loudly, “I’m Fine! If sister he can go to the underground palace, I Can Too!”
After the small dispute was settled, everyone went down the stairs and entered the underground palace.
