"How about Qiu Shiba?" Qiu Er asked as he looked at Lin Ze. Their boss's absence was already explained.
Meng Xing has become the new pavilion master of the Luolian Pavilion after he was abducted by them. This doesn't make sense to Yan Huai and the others who don't know the truth. But the Huichen knows, as their boss is actually the biological 'son' of the (now previous) pavilion master of the Luolian Pavilion – Lianyun, who ordered Luo Wen to abduct Meng Xing. So, Meng Xing being the successor of the Luolian Pavilion is reasonable. Though, they won't tell others about this just to clarify this matter to them. Especially since it is a critical period for all of them now with traitors and spies existing everywhere around them.
Anyway, it's Qiu Shiba's turn now for his absence to be answered. Since Qiu Shiba is not present at this particular time, then it means that he has something important to do. And it was as it was when they heard Lin Ze answer.
