"It's okay..."
Chen Heng shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Then he just turned around and looked at Vinaer in his arms. "What about you? Are you alright?"
"I... I'm okay."
Being held in Chen Heng's arms, Vinaer blushed, nodded, and then said softly.
Chen Heng smiled and then put her down, letting her leave on her own.
Vinaer left in a daze, and her mind was still blank at this time.
She recalled the scene just now and the heroic appearance of Chen Heng when he took action at that moment. She couldn't help but be a bit absent-minded, and her mind was blank at this moment.
On the spot, Chen Heng had a calm expression on his face and looked at Carey in front of him. "They're all ordinary people. There aren't any knight apprentices among them."
"However, these people's strength is not weak. Basically, they are all well-trained elites. I don't know where they came from."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning, looking very puzzled at this moment.
"After I interrogate them carefully, I'll know whose people they are."
Carey's face was livid, and he said angrily at this moment.
What happened this time was really a slap in the face for him in public.
This banquet was held by him, and most of the guests were nobles, and it could even be said that their identities were all quite important and couldn't be compared with ordinary people.
Once something happened to someone at the banquet, he would be in trouble.
Those people wouldn't care about what exactly happened. They would only know that the assassins took action at his banquet.
It would be okay if it was just like this, but Carey saw clearly just now.
Those people were clearly aiming at Vinaer.
And considering Vinaer's identity, once something happened to her...
Carey couldn't help shivering and could hardly imagine the terrifying consequences.
It could only be said that once something like this happened, perhaps the whole Kutu City would be in chaos, and Carey might not even be able to save himself. Even his father, the count, couldn't protect him.
Fortunately, Knight Kailin was here...
At this moment, Carey was extremely glad that he and Chen Heng were friends and that he had invited the other party to his banquet.
Otherwise, on an occasion like today's, it might have been difficult to end it.
With the skills of those assassins, if it hadn't been for a knight like Chen Heng to take action, with the strength of his guards, even if they could capture these people, it might have been too late.
Thinking of this, he felt a bit lucky in his heart and couldn't help but value Chen Heng even more.
"After something like this happened, I'm afraid this banquet can't continue."
Standing on the spot and looking at Carey's appearance in front of him, Chen Heng smiled softly. "Since that's the case, I'll leave first."
"Okay."
Carey nodded and said, "I really have to thank you for what happened this time. But now is really not the time to talk."
"I'll visit you in person in a few days."
He had a solemn expression on his face and said so.
Chen Heng smiled and nodded, and then under the gaze of the people around, who were both in awe and envy, he just turned around and left.
Before leaving, Chen Heng took a discreet look at a corner beside him.
The candles around were not very bright, and some corners were a bit dim, so it was hard to see clearly.
However, with Chen Heng's eyesight, he could still see the situation in the distance.
In the distance, a little girl was looking at him, watching his figure and hadn't left at all.
Feeling the gaze of this line of sight, Chen Heng smiled to himself, but he didn't stay any longer and just turned around and left directly.
"Princess, he has left."
Vinaer reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Beside her, a servant reminded her. At this moment, the servant looked a bit pale.
"Do you think I can still meet him?"
Vinaer withdrew her gaze and looked at the servant in front of her and asked this question.
The servant in front of her was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking for a while, said, "You are a noble princess. If you want to meet someone, you just need to summon them directly."
"However, you're still young now and it's not suitable for you to summon a young man alone."
She reminded in a low voice, "However, as long as you are willing, Princess, there will always be opportunities in the future."
"Yes."
Vinaer nodded, and finally a smile appeared on her face at this time. "There will always be opportunities."
"I don't know how effective today's performance was..."
On the other side, sitting alone in the carriage, Chen Heng had a calm expression on his face, and this thought flashed through his mind.
The gains from this banquet were much better than he had expected before.
Before, when he participated in this banquet, he just wanted to meet more people, show himself, and by the way, try to talk about business.
Unexpectedly, after this round, he not only met a suitable target but also found an opportunity to show himself.
Even the sharpest weapon is useless if there is no chance to use it.
Although Chen Heng was a knight and his martial strength was far above that of ordinary people, if there was no opportunity to show it, people wouldn't understand his strength after all.
After going through this turmoil, on the one hand, Chen Heng found an opportunity to show his powerful strength, and on the other hand, he also indirectly made many people have a good impression of him.
For example, those people who were saved by Chen Heng, Vinaer, and Carey.
For Chen Heng, this was the biggest gain.
After today, presumably in the noble circle of Kutu City, Chen Heng's reputation would surely reach a new level.
As for Vinaer, she was another gain.
At this moment, Chen Heng had already made up his mind. After going back, he planned to use his connections to find out Vinaer's real identity from the side.
Then, based on the results found, he would decide on the next countermeasure.
As long as the conditions met Chen Heng's standards, then perhaps Chen Heng would take the initiative to attack and try to get in touch with her.
Sitting upright in the carriage, Chen Heng sat alone, constantly thinking in his mind at this moment.
Time passed slowly.
Unconsciously, another half a month had passed.
During the half a month, Chen Heng behaved very steadily. On the surface, it seemed that he was the same as usual, either attending classes or training, and he was extremely diligent.
During this period of time, the matter of that night finally fermented.
In a short time, Chen Heng became famous again, and the reputation of his bravery spread throughout the noble circle of Kutu.
I don't know how many people who had experienced that night were publicizing it and spreading Chen Heng's deeds.
Suddenly, Chen Heng's reputation became even greater.
During this period, Carey also came to visit with a solemn expression on his face and informed Chen Heng of some news.
The identities of those assassins had been found by him.
Surprisingly, these assassins didn't come from Kutu Kingdom but from a well-known assassin organization in a neighboring country.
They were hired to come here to assassinate Carey and others.
Of course, this was just Carey's own statement.
In fact, Chen Heng could see clearly.
The people those assassins wanted to assassinate that day were clearly that little girl named Vinaer.
Even though Carey was on their assassination list, perhaps his importance was still behind Vinaer.
