"So it's not for anything else but for looking after that child?"

At that moment, looking at the smile on Chen Heng's smile, many people thought the same thing.

Looking at the handsome Chen Heng and the mild look on his face, they could not help but feel respect.

Frankly speaking, as nobles, they encountered many temptations normally; it was something that ordinary people could not imagine.

For someone to maintain their principles and not be tempted, he was worthy of respect.

For him to be able to resist temptation, while also treating an unfamiliar little girl kindly, he was undoubtedly the virtuous Knight Kailin.

They all inwardly sighed and thought to themselves.

No one thought that Chen Heng had any ulterior motives towards Verna.

After all, there were many women with better looks and figures than Verna.

Of those people, many of them had expressed their interest in Chen Heng, but all of them had been politely rejected by Chen Heng.

Now, him accepting this little girl's invite was evidently to take care of her and not make her feel bad, rather than anything else.

That was what everyone was thinking.

Even Kelly did not think too much.

Even though he knew that Verna's identity was not simple, he did not think that Chen Heng would know her identity. Moreover, Chen Heng had created too good of an image for himself, so Kelly never suspected everything.

As for Verna, her mind was completely blank and her face directly became red.

She looked at Chen Heng and mustered up her courage as she said, "Mr Kailin… doesn't like me coming to such places?"

"It's not like that," Chen Heng smiled as he said, "It's that people of different ages do different things.

"Given your age, it's a bit too early to come to events like this.

"Of course, this is just a suggestion."

He looked at Verna and lightly smiled as he said, "At the end of the day, it depends on your own feelings.

"No one else has the right to make your decisions for you…"

Looking at Chen Heng and hearing these words, Verna thought to herself.

She had heard other people say such things before.

One of her older sisters had said similar things to her before, but she spoke much more severely than Chen Heng.

For some reason, even though they were the same words, when Chen Heng said them, she did not feel as resistant.

She tilted her head to the side, not understanding too much.

A hand stretched out and held her hand.

As many women looked on with admiration, Chen Heng got up and lightly held Verna's hand.

They walked forwards and went to a corner as they began to dance.

The Kutu Principality's nobles' dances were quite unique. As a noble, Chen Heng had learned these dances before at Baron Kaisen's territory.

Of course in the past, he did not participate in such activities much.

As such, his actions seemed a bit out of practice, just as he had said.

However, even though he was a bit out of practice, he was not bad.

These dances, at their root, were just a way of moving one's body.

Given Chen Heng's current body and its strength and suppleness, it would not be too hard for him to dance well.

In front of him, Verna moved together with him.

In front of Chen Heng, Verna instinctively moved, her eyes tightly fixed on Chen Heng, looking at his face dumbly.

Only after the dance was over did she come back to her senses.

"Good job." Chen Heng warmly smiled and did not let go of her hand as he held her hand and slowly walked with her.

"It's getting late."

Looking at Verna, he smiled, "Remember to rest early after getting back."

After speaking, he let go of Verna's hand and politely said his goodbyes before walking back towards his seat.

Verna somewhat absent-mindedly walked back to her seat.

The whole way, she could not help but think back to that feeling just then.

She could still feel the feeling of Kailin's palm, and even though they only had a brief encounter, his appearance was engraved in her mind.

Verna thought back to that feeling, and she still did not come back to her senses as she absent-mindedly walked back to her seat.

Whoosh…

A soft sound came from the sound, sounding like the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath.

"Watch out!!" Cries sounded out and women shrieked.

Hearing these voices, Verna instinctively turned.

She saw a silver dagger quickly coming towards her.

"Who!!"

The feeling of death appeared within her heart.

In that moment, Verna felt as if her heart had stopped, and her entire body became icy cold.

Terror appeared in her mind, and she found it difficult to breathe.

In front of her, there was an ordinary-looking female servant wearing a gray robe who suddenly pulled out a dagger and rushed at Verna.

Around her, there were more people gathering over here, looking at Verna with sharp killing intent.

"They want to kill me?

"Why?"

Verna's body felt cold, and that was the only thought in her blank mind.

These people acted too quickly, and she could not react at all to this sudden threat.

Those people quickly came close and were about to reach her.

Fortunately, at that moment, someone finally acted.

Whoosh…

A light wind blew out as a hand stretched out and sent that dagger flying.

Following this, a tall figure blocked in front of Verna.

Bang!!

A figure quickly flew backwards.

In that moment, that assassin was blasted backwards and heavily crashed into a wall.

Chen Heng silently stood in the center of the crowd.

He stood there with one arm around Verna and held a silver sword in his right hand, which gave off a faint light under the candlelight.

Around him, a few figures simultaneously rushed out, and the sound of swords being drawn could continuously be heard.

"Be careful!!" seeing this scene, many people cried out, feeling extremely nervous.

In the next moment, Chen Heng also started to move.

Silently standing there and sensing the movement around him, his expression was calm and steady.

Suddenly, he vigorously slashed out countless strikes, all of the attacks bringing with them a wild wind, destroying all of the incoming attacks.

Bang!!

Blood splattered out in all directions, and a few figures simultaneously crashed to the ground.

Without much noise, Kailin unleashed and displayed his power as a Knight.

In the whole process, he did not have any extra movements and kept one arm around Verna as he easily dealt with those assassins.

Everyone in the surroundings looked at Chen Heng in shock; even the coldest person could not help but look at him with lit up eyes.

"Kailin, my friend, are you alright?" ahead, Kelly's voice sounded out.

He strode over, and looking at Verna in Chen Heng's arms, he inwardly let out a sigh of relief before checking on Chen Heng with an ashen face.
