Thinking about this possibility made her feel a little complicated.

"Miss Qiao, thank you." Before she could even speak, Wei Chi expressed his gratitude.

"Oh, what are you thanking me for?"

"I didn't know that Lord Shi was so secretive about his ability to draw portraits. If you hadn't been there, I'm afraid I would have—"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Qiao Lian'er said, "Brother Wei, I want to ask you, in this vast sea of ​​people, there are so many people who look alike. Can you identify a person just by looking at a portrait? Isn't there a possibility of making a mistake?"

“This—” Wei Chi thought about it and agreed.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll first compile a list of people who look similar, and then eliminate them one by one. Let's start by looking in this county."

Qiao Lian'er coughed: "That's not appropriate."

"Miss Qiao, what are your thoughts?"

In the past, Wei Chi would have ignored her and turned to leave without a second thought, but things are different now; this little girl saved his life.

Those who roam the world value righteousness above all else.

“I think that searching city by city and village by village is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to arouse people’s suspicion. The results may not be very good.”

"Why don't we go back to your aunt and uncle's house first and ask your cousin if she has any other distinguishing features? If her appearance and features match, it will be easier to find her."

“But my cousin is a woman, this…” Wei Chi hesitated.

If he were to inquire about a woman's physical characteristics, he would likely be arrested as a womanizer and have his spine pierced.

"No problem, I can help you," Qiao Lian'er assured, patting her chest.

"That would be too much trouble for you."

Wei Chi couldn't understand why Qiao Lian'er wanted to help him, but he could only accept that this little girl was kind-hearted.

Perhaps, she was doing it for Gao Shuying's sake.

"It's no trouble at all. If you don't trust me, you can let Sister Gao go. I'm just making a suggestion."

Wei Chi thought Qiao Lian'er made sense. With so many people in the world, how long would it take to match each one of them with a portrait?

"It's not that I don't trust you. I'll go back first."

"Brother Wei, where is your home—"

"It's in Yuezhou City, and my aunt and uncle's house is also there, just one street away."

Qiao Lian'er stroked her chin: "Four hundred li is not too far, even at a fast pace. It won't take too long to go, and it might even greatly increase the chances of finding it."

After the two parted ways, watching Wei Chi ride away on horseback, the enthusiasm on Qiao Lian'er's face slowly faded.

Actually, she did notice something slightly unusual, but she didn't take it seriously.

For example, her mother had fair skin and a beautiful face, and a slender figure. Despite suffering for many years, she had not lost these features. Moreover, she did not look like Old Man Qiao and Old Woman Qiao. Only the expression between her eyebrows and eyes was similar, but upon closer inspection, one could not see any genetic inheritance in her facial features.

However, it's hard to say for sure. My mother was naturally very strong, which is something she inherited from the Qiao family.

Qiao Lian'er owns a 300-square-meter, two-story shop, which serves as her headquarters. She manages it herself, and Qiao Yunni is often busy there as well.

Just like at home, when she couldn't see Qiao Lian'er, she would habitually come out to take a look every now and then.

He had barely poked his head out when Qiao Lian'er pushed him inside.

Because Wei Chi rode his horse from that end, and this street was the only way out of the city.

Wei Chi seemed to have seen this.
