No one knew the reason for Xiaode's change, because no one had ever asked him, not even the Shi clan leader.
All of the Demi-human race knew he was callous and temperamental, even though he truly had changed a lot.
However, many important personages of the Demi-human race had already guessed at the reason.
This was because Xiaode had begun to change several years ago, upon his return from the distant capital of the Human race.
During the coup of the Mausoleum of Books, he had allied with Painted Armor Xiao Zhang and the Tang Second Master to invade the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. In that bloody battle, both his mind and will had endured the most harrowing of ordeals.
But this was not the moment Xiaode began to change, as he was part of the winning side.
What truly affected Xiaode and stimulated his change was the events of one winter's day.
When the capital was shrouded in snow, Chen Changsheng went to kill Zhou Tong.
