"What exactly is going on with that Golden Crow?"
Chen Xiao was also somewhat puzzled. He did not remember offending anyone so deeply that it had reached the point of an irreconcilable blood feud.
Normally, whenever Chen Xiao made an enemy or offended someone, he would cut the grass and pull up the roots, never leaving behind any future trouble for himself.
