Xie Qiqi sensed Master Sikong’s urgency and, opting for honesty, said in a low voice, "I am sorry, Master Sikong, but I do not know if Old Man Xi is still alive."
"Old Man Xi and I parted ways two years ago. At that time, there was a war on the border, and a group of state slaves was being sent to transport supplies. The official in charge originally put my name on the list, but Old Man Xi, saying I was too young and a girl, volunteered to go in my stead."
Xie Qiqi said guiltily, "Even after I was brought out by the Xie Family, I never saw Old Man Xi return. I previously asked my eldest brother to help me look for him, but because my words carry little weight, I suspect my brother didn't take it to heart."
