Chapter 388: Chapter 389 Gang Leader (2)_1

Nan Feng gave a wry smile, "Master Long, are you really asking me if I think too highly of myself and look down on those ladies on the stage? Frankly speaking, we’re all trying to make a living here, and none of us is superior to others. Today, I’m here to deliver goods, but if I were to earn their money and then call them whores, wouldn’t I be even worse of a whore myself?"

Upon hearing Nan Feng’s words, Long San poured her another cup of tea, "Lady Nan is an intelligent woman, no wonderGuardian Xia is so protective of you."

Upon the mention of Guardian Xia, a sweet smile broke out on Nan Feng’s face, "He indeed is quite protective of me, because I’m his betrothed!"

"Having a confidante like Lady Nan is indeed a man’s fortune. I really envy Guardian Xia," replied Long San.

Nan Feng thought of Xue Ling and holding up her teacup, she said tentatively, "You too could have a beautiful love story. There’s a girl who’s been waiting for you here, loving you, willing to die for you."

A helpless laugh escaped Long San, "Xue Ling is a good woman, but she’s just not the right one for me."

"Why?" Eager to find out if Long San had feelings for Xue Ling, Nan Feng waited for his response.

A fatigued Long San said, "The reasons for dying for someone can be manifold. For instance, that day we went to the Bashen Sect, you and she both went; yet, your purposes were different. You wanted to solve the case for Guardian Xia and rescue the innocent girl, but what about Xue Ling? She did it solely for herself, always using her life to test whether I care about her or not. Lady Nan, wouldn’t you feel tired if you were in my place?"

Nan Feng mused and responded, "Perhaps Xue Ling does these things because she yearns for a clear answer, too? She risks her life to test you, possibly because you’ve never given her a direct answer."

"No, I did give her an answer," Long San said with utmost certainty.

Recalling how Long San had rejected Xue Ling that day, she couldn’t refrain from asking, "But were those words really your true feelings?"

"Those were indeed my true feelings!" Long San took a sip of his tea, then continued, "Xue Ling’s brother once took a blade for me when we were in the Capital City. Before his death, he entrusted his only sister to me, and so, I’ve treated her like my own sister."

"Do you have feelings for her only as a sister?" asked Nan Feng.

"That’s exactly it - only brotherly love. However, I’m afraid even that will fade slowly if she continues to be so stubborn," Long San spoke with confidence.

Long San laughed again, "Do you think I’m the type of man who enjoys leading a girl on, keeping her hanging even when I don’t have feelings for her?"

All of a sudden, Nan Feng didn’t know what to say.

She believed that a person’s eyes could speak volumes.

She had once thought that Long San constantly rejected Xue Ling because of his periling health, but now after hearing Long San’s remarks, she believes he indeed doesn’t harbor feelings for Xue Ling.

She felt she had drunk enough tea, expressed her gratitude, and it was time to go.

"Master Long, I’ve been away from the shop for a long time, and I should return. Thank you for helping me out today, and for the tea. Let’s catch up when we have a chance."

With a refined smile, Long San responded, "I should be the one to thank you, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a long conversation with someone."

Nan Feng gave a slight smile, paid her respects to Long San, and said, "I take my leave now."

"Take care, Lady Nan."

As Nan Feng stepped onto the street, she felt the chilling wind. The Oiran contest had ended and the crowds on Central Street dispersed. As she walked a few paces, for some reason, she looked back towards the direction of Yuelai Teahouse.
