"Okay! I'll come see you again two days later!" Kang Yueran stood up, bowed, and said goodbye.
Then, she went to find Ningzhou prefect Du Jian, gave him a copy of the list, and asked him to draw the portraits and addresses of these eighteen people for her.
Chai Shijing was worried all night and was relieved only when he saw Kang Yueran return safely.
Two nights later, Kang Yueran went to Du Jian's house first.
"I've only met fourteen of them. I haven't met four of them. I met three of them three years ago, and the painting shows how they looked three years ago."

"You are a grateful person. After all this is settled, I hope you can go and participate in the scientific expedition. I am leaving now!"
