Chapter 158: Chapter 45: I'm Sorry, Xue Jing (Part 1)_2

Anger turned Xue Jing's normally pale, pretty face crimson. "I let you stay with me last night, but you constantly made excuses, all to end up in a brothel. Why? Tell me, why?"

Nian Bing moved to the side and sat down. He was somewhat tense inside, unsure about whether he should continue. He took a deep breath and said, "It's simple. We are friends. And, a prostitute carries no responsibilities."

"You..." With a swoosh, her treasured sword was drawn. Xue Jing pointed at Nian Bing, "In your eyes, am I even less than a prostitute?"

Nian Bing shook his head and said, "No, Jingjing, you must understand, we are friends and nothing more. I don't believe I did anything wrong. This is the second time you've drawn your sword on me. I have a question for you too; by what right do you interfere with my freedom? I've never claimed to be a saint, nor have I forced you to be with me. If you're unhappy, you're free to leave at any time. I imagine Uncle Xue is eagerly awaiting your return."
