1845 Get Ready To Run Anytime
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi did not quite understand what Huo Yao meant, so they looked at her quizzically in unison.
Huo Yao laughed and said deeply, “Get ready to run anytime.”
They looked at her in astonishment.
Huo Yao did not explain and turned to enter the palace.
“Do as she says.” Min Yu narrowed his eyes. He knew Huo Yao meant what she said. After giving Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi the order, he followed behind her.
!!
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi looked at each other waiting outside. They quickly contacted their men on the outside.
Even though they did not know the reason for going to the second floor, they trusted Huo Yao without the slightest doubt.

After entering the palace, Huo Yao did not have any time to admire the luxurious interior. Under Min Yu’s cover, she quietly went over to the hall at the back.
The archaeological team was busy taking photos and studying the place. Even if someone suddenly appeared or left, no one had any time to pay attention to them.
The entire palace was not particularly big. Huo Yao spent a few minutes trying to find the way up to the second floor.
The passage to the second floor had not been built in a traditional manner. Instead, it was a concealed mechanical lift that resembled modern-day electric lifts except that it operated purely using mechanics. Also, it was hard to activate.
It might be hard to operate the mechanism, but it was very familiar to people like Huo Yao.
Before long, she extended her hand to grab an inconspicuous vase on the stone pillar and turned it halfway around.
A second later, a slight tremor could be sensed at her feet.
The shaking occurred because the mechanism had not been used in a long time.
Even though it disappeared soon enough, someone noticed it anyway.
“Did any of you sense the ground vibrating a little?” asked an archaeological team surveyor suddenly.
“Was there? I didn’t notice,” replied one of the colleagues. He stopped to sense if there were any more tremors, but automatically replied. “Were you imagining it?”
The rest of the team felt the same way.
The surveyor stood quietly for a few seconds and noticed nothing, so he scratched his head. “Maybe I was being over-sensitive then.”
“No matter what, just be careful,” reminded Prof Min with a serious look on his face.
It was important to study archaeology, but they should only do it under safe conditions.
Prof Min raised his head and looked around the hall. When he noticed the chairman missing, he could not help feeling puzzled.
At this moment, Min Yu walked over. “Yang Yi found something interesting outside.”
Prof Min got distracted. “What?”
“Just go see for yourself,” replied Min Yu with a straight face.
Prof Min strode out unsuspectingly.
When the archaeological team saw Prof Min walk out, they were puzzled but they did not go with him.
Min Yu raised his hand to check the time. Ten minutes had passed since Huo Yao entered the second floor.
He wondered how the situation was over there.
Would she encounter any danger?
As he pondered, Min Yu quietly went to the rear hall.
Huo Yao had already accessed the second floor. When she entered, she saw tightly shut rooms.
Engravings could be seen on the doors and they were just like the ones she saw on the main entrance.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and reached her hand out to open one of the rooms.
After a few centuries, there was strangely only a fine layer of dust. It seemed as though they had only been left untouched for half a month.
The interior was simple and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Huo Yao looked around and raised her brow.
