Indeed,
Si Houqing was filled with regret.
His regret didn't stem from Shen Changchuan's decision to fight masked to hide his identity.
There was nothing wrong with that.
After all, it wasn't unheard of for sore losers, furious after a defeat in the arena, to retaliate against their opponent after the match.
While fighting masked wasn't a common sight, it was not unprecedented.
The real reason for Si Houqing's regret,
was the feeling that he had been far too reckless!
Without truly understanding the situation,
he had rashly chosen that fellow Shen Changchuan as his hired gun.
He'd simply let his excitement get the better of him.
He had accidentally overheard a fellow named Guo Cheng chatting with his own Steward, telling a story about their journey. They had been ambushed by men in black, but Shen Changchuan had supposedly unleashed a massacre, defeating a powerful enemy at the Qi Introduction Sixth Layer Peak in just a dozen breaths.
