Xun Shiba stared at her back, and couldn't help but feel resentful.
The thought that had just flashed through his mind became clearer. If she hadn't lost to Shan Shier, he wouldn't have argued with that fool and then fought him. He wouldn't have gotten into trouble because of a moment of passion, making him ashamed to face other men.
