An awkward look appeared on the old man's face as he replied, "Chen Ping'an and His Highness don't appear to be among the sixteen children that I mentioned earlier."
Cao Xi nodded in response, then asked, "What about Li Xisheng?"
"He's not one of them, either," the old man replied with a shake of his head.
Cao Xi turned to Cao Jun, who had a pair of swords strapped to his waist, one long and one short. "You've faced Li Xisheng in battle before.
