In Jin Yong's novel," The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre ", why did someone ask Zhang Cuishan about Xie Xun's whereabouts the moment he returned to the Central Plains from Ice Fire Island?

Back then, other than Zhang Cuishan, Yin Susu, and Xie Xun who had gone to Ice Fire Island, the rest of the people from Wangpan Mountain were either dead or stunned. No one should know that Xie Xun had gone to Wangpan Mountain and left with the three of them. I don't understand what you're saying. Hehe, is that Jin Yong fanatic giving me some pointers? Thank you in advance!
Hehe, after looking back, I found the answer myself. I won't bother everyone anymore.
Yu Lianzhou said," This Xie Xun is vicious in his actions. However, he is indeed a strange man. However, he forgot about one person." "Who is it?" asked Zhang Cuishan. "White Turtle Longevity," Yu Lianzhou said.
"The Black Turtle Sanctum's Sanctum Leader of the Heavenly Eagle Cult?" asked Zhang Cuishan. "That's right," Yu Lianzhou said. According to what you said, Bai Guishou had the most profound internal energy among the heroes on Wangpan Mountain Island. He was hit by Xie Xun's wine arrow and fainted. Later, Xie Xun roared like a lion. If Bai Guishou was fine, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand his roar…"
Zhang Cuishan slapped his thigh and said," That's right. At that time, White Tortoise Shou was unconscious on the ground. He couldn't hear the roar, but he was still conscious. Although my adopted brother is meticulous, he didn't expect this."
"Bai Guishou is the only one who survived Mount Wangpan without losing his sanity," Yu Lianzhou sighed.
