Given his current situation, Xiao Chen found it extremely difficult to approach others. This severely hindered him, keeping him from finding out all that he wished to know. Moreover, he dared not casually use force to detain and question anyone, as his time in Jiuzhou would be drastically shortened once he used his power.

Once unbeatable and acclaimed, he could now only hide from people and appear in secret; his emotions ran high as he reflected on his past glory.
Feeling despondent, he wandered the nights, failing to find any of his old acquaintances. He had no idea where they were now.
