On hearing Meng Qi's whisper, Luo Shengyi tilted his head to look toward Evil Prince's back. Puzzled, he said, "The reason for his showing up here is that he wants to fish in troubled waters while the Great Grandmasters are fighting. Or maybe he's contributed to the absence of the Young Lad?"
A group of people had hidden here, but there would always be traces left, such as the amount of rice and vegetables they'd purchased. So they would not be exposed just because of Ba Tu.
"Both are possible. If it's the latter, perhaps Evil Prince already knows the whereabouts of the Demon Venerable, even gotten the treasure." It was Meng Qi's major concern, because it meant that Evil Prince had probably broken through to Great Grandmaster. If that were the case he would be incapable of rivalling Evil Prince, unless he could cooperate with the Sword Emperor or Right Chief Minister.
After thinking for a while, Luo Shengyi said, "I'm leaning towards the former."
