He wasn't very familiar with ancient mythology, but there was someone who was very knowledgeable about it; he seemed to have heard him mention Chenghuang.

“I have a student who might be very interested in this mask. I wonder if he made it.” Old Zhao examined the mask and pondered, “He also has the surname Zhao, and his name is Zhao Tian. Moreover, although he is my student, his mask-making skills are quite superb, even better than mine.”

Chi Cheese was very happy to see that there were new clues.

Regardless of whether the person named Zhao Tian is right or not, we should ask him first.

"Where is he? Can we meet him?" Chi Nao asked in a soft and cute voice.

“At this time… he should be at work. If you want to see him, I’ll call him first,” Old Zhao said.

Chi Baiyi nodded. "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Old Zhao made a phone call to Zhao Tian in front of them.

He explained the details over the phone: "...Yes, that's right, a mask based on Chenghuang. I remember you're quite knowledgeable about ancient mythology, and you even mentioned Chenghuang to me once... You made a mask based on Chenghuang? When was that? How come I didn't know?... Oh, oh, oh, do you want to meet them?... Yes, sure..."

When Chi Nailu heard that Zhao Tian had made a mask based on Cheng Huang, she was both excited and a little scared.

She had a hunch that Zhao Tian might be the person she was looking for who made the yellow mask and who was connected to the fire ten years later!

Old Zhao told Chi Baiyi the meeting place Zhao Tian had arranged and Zhao Tian's contact information.

"It's not far from here. Zhao Tian is still at work now, so you should arrive just in time for his lunch break. If it's not lunch break yet, you'll have to wait for him."

"It's nothing." Chi Baiyi thanked Lao Zhao and left in a grand procession with Chi Nao, Qin Yuanyao, and a group of bodyguards.

Old Zhao watched the group of black-clad bodyguards leave, and swallowed hard, still feeling a lingering fear.

The meeting place with Zhao Tianding was a coffee shop.

Because there were many people in Chi Baiyi's group, Chi Baiyi directly requested a private room.

They waited in the private room for about twenty minutes before Zhao Tian came in, led by a waiter.

Upon entering, Zhao Tian saw two rows of bodyguards in black standing ramrod straight, and his expression was almost exactly the same as Old Zhao's back then.

Chi Nai sat next to Chi Baiyi, her dark, large eyes fixed on Zhao Tian.

Is this the person?

Was this the same person who set fire to her house ten years later?

Zhao Tian looked to be in his forties. He was of average appearance and height, and his face had a somewhat kind look.

After Chi Baiyi briefly explained his purpose, he handed him the Chenghuang mask.

The moment Zhao Tian saw Cheng Huang's mask clearly, his expression turned to surprise.

"How did this mask end up with you?"

"Yuan Guisheng from Anfeng Village gave it to us," Chi Baiyi said. "Did you go to Anfeng Village and make this mask to give to Yuan Guisheng?"

A look of nostalgia appeared on Zhao Tian's face.

"Yes! About half a year ago, I went to Anfeng Village for tourism and was bitten on the leg by a wild boar in the mountains. It was Xiao Yuan who saved me. During the time I was recuperating at his house, I was bored, so I made this mask and gave it to him."

Zhao Tian continued, "Old Zhao said you're looking for the person who made this mask. What do you want with me?"

Chi Baiyi remained silent, glancing at Chi Naoqi.

Chi Cheese previously said that she wanted to learn how to make this mask.

However, Chi Baiyi had reservations about her explanation.

Chi Nao Nuonuo said softly, "I'm very curious who made this mask."

When Zhao Tian saw her, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Why are you curious about this?"

"I'm just curious," Chi Nai said. "Uncle Zhao, have you made any other Chenghuang masks?"

“Yes, I have!” Zhao Tian said. “I made an exact replica and gave it to my daughter.”

Chi Nao's eyes widened slightly as she pointed to the yellow mask's forehead and asked, "Is there a red dot here on the yellow mask?"

Zhao Tian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes! How did you know?"

Chi Nao's mouth gaped open in surprise.

A yellow mask with a red dot between its brows...

Ten years later, she finally found the yellow mask with a red dot between its brows that she had glimpsed during the fire!

"Where is the yellow mask with the red dot between its eyebrows?" Chi Nao asked excitedly.

Chi Baiyi glanced at her excited little face with a hint of suspicion.

"I already said it, I gave it to my daughter," Zhao Tian replied patiently.

“Can we see her? I want to see the yellow mask with the red dot between its eyebrows,” Chi Nao said crisply.

"Are you sure you want to see that mask? That mask is exactly the same as this one, except it has a red dot between the eyebrows. If you like, I can put a red dot between the eyebrows on this mask too," Zhao Tian said.

Chi Cheese nodded emphatically, "Yes, I'm sure! I want to see your daughter, and see that mask."

“My daughter is studying at a university in another city. You won’t be able to see her until she comes back for vacation,” Zhao Tian said.

Chi Cheese pondered for a moment.

Ten years later, the person she saw in the fire wearing a yellow mask with a red dot between the eyebrows seemed to be a man, but also a woman.

She was almost unconscious at the time, and could not see very clearly in the firelight and smoke.

She couldn't be sure whether the arsonist was Zhao Tian, ​​his daughter, or someone else.

She could only follow the clue of the yellow mask with a red dot between its eyebrows and explore further.

Perhaps by finding out more people and meeting more people, she could pinpoint the arsonist sooner.

“It’s okay,” Chi Nao said confidently after thinking it through, “We can go to her school to find her!”

Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao couldn't help but glance at her.

Zhao Tian laughed. "Why are you so interested in that mask?"

"Because it's pretty, it's beautiful," Chi Nao said, her dark eyes darting around.

Chi Baiyi added, "She can also use this as an excuse to go on trips to other places."

Zhao Tian laughed heartily, and his doubts were somewhat dispelled.

To be honest, he didn't want to give his daughter his contact information so easily, and he didn't understand why these people wanted to see his daughter just because of a mask.

Hearing Chi Baiyi say that, he instantly understood.

The child probably used her interest in the mask as an excuse to get her parents to take her out to play.

His daughter did something similar when she was a child.

Zhao Tian then gave them his daughter Zhao Lan's contact information and information about Zhao Lan studying at N University in N City.

N University isn't very far from here; it only takes about three hours to drive there.

"Dad, let's go now!" Chi Nao said hurriedly.

Chi Baiyi glanced at her and deliberately asked, "Now? Why the rush?"
