Meng Xing finished his bath and let Qiu Yi do his hair after Qiu Yi insisted. "Where did you lose that person?" he asked Qiu Si. He is referring to the practitioner who killed Mr. Xu.
Qiu Si was the one who chased after the practitioner earlier while Meng Xing took care of Lin Yao who suddenly appeared on the scene.
"Downtown area." Qiu Si answered.
"How did you lose him?" Meng Xing asked. He knows Qiu Si's skills, and it is not that easy for someone to make Qiu Si lose sight of them.
So, either that person is strong, or that they are elusive – which they concluded when they tried to catch him earlier.
"He disappeared." Qiu Si answered.
"'disappeared'?" Meng Xing and Qiu Yi muttered and looked at each other.
"He must have been wearing a human skin mask." Qiu Si explained. "Then, took off his outer clothes." He told them.
This operation is familiar. "Could it be someone from the Writhing Snake again?" Qiu Yi frowned.
