"Kind sir, do you happen to know where those two carriages that just passed by were headed?" Upon hearing the old beggar speak, Huangfu Yuanjun felt a glimmer of hope.
"I’m no 'kind sir,' just a beggar," the old man replied, straightening his posture. "I heard you asking the vendor earlier about the direction of those carriages and thought you were up to no good. But listening to you talk with this young master here, I realize I was mistaken."
"To be honest, sir, I am searching for my younger sister," Huangfu Yuanjun said, his face full of anticipation. "She was lost when she was young, and our family has spent over a decade searching for her. We finally got a lead and tracked it here, only for the trail to go cold. If you know anything at all, I implore you to tell me. I am willing to offer a hundred taels of silver as a reward."
