Jiujiu was sixteen, isn't that ten years ago?
Ten years ago, Jiujiu was really in Shanghu City!
Ruan Qi's heart pounded violently. She gripped the phone tightly and pursued Wen Ran: "What happened afterward? Did Jiujiu return to the Imperial Capital?"
"No, he didn't return."
Ruan Qi furrowed her brows: "Didn't return?"
"Yes." Wen Ran's voice was slow, "When Xi Jiu was sixteen, Elder Master Xi had cleaned up the Xi Family's collateral branches and was ready to bring Xi Jiu back. But then, something happened, and not only did Elder Master Xi not bring Xi Jiu back, he personally went to Shanghu City and stayed for several months. When he returned, Xi Jiu wasn't with him. Xi Jiu returned to the Imperial Capital two years later, when he was eighteen."
Upon hearing Wen Ran's words, Ruan Qi's brow furrowed even deeper.
With the collateral branches of the Xi Family cleared, Jiujiu, as the sole heir, should have returned immediately to take charge of the situation.
