Ark, they don't revolve around you

And she never refused such beauty, she walked towards Zhuang Ning with her head held high.

She stretched out her hand and said, "If you don't mind, can you dance with me?"

Chapter 38 Pretend we are the same as before

There is no doubt that this was an astonishing move, and Zhuang Ning instantly became the focus of the hall.

Originally, no one paid attention to this inconspicuous person, and Zhuang Ning had no intention of blending into the Longmen circle. His dress and attire did not reveal his background, and some people speculated that he was an opportunist, but for various reasons, he did not dare to blend in.

Today the entire hall is filled with such people. Most of them bow and scrape to the nobles who come and go, hoping to get even a little favor from them.

Those who claim to be aristocrats sneer in their hearts. They treat everyone they meet with courtesy and make the received people feel warm and comfortable. The upper class people in the city of Longmen have the demeanor of Confucian scholars of Yan State and are influenced by Victorian gentlemen. Their conversation is mixed with two languages ​​and they have a smile on their lips. They never make people feel superior, but the pride in their hearts is even greater than that of Victorians and Yan people.

Longmen will be the center of Terra in the future, with a prosperous economy and a core geographical location. These nobles are certain that their glory will stand like a tall building and be immortal forever.

In this situation, the girl who inherited the throne of Longmen City Lord would be the emperor of Longmen, and even the real dragon of Yan Country would not openly turn against her.

Besides, she is so young and attractive. Which big family would not have some thoughts of political speculation and let their children try it out?

However, Chen Huijie didn't take it seriously. When her fingertips touched Zhuang Ning, a hint of well-hidden uneasiness flashed across her rosy eyes. She still held her head high, her arms as white as jade, except that the little hand that once held the knife was trembling slightly.

The meaning is obvious.

Zhuang Ning did not move, like a statue lost in thought. People around him thought he was cowardly, and they might as well have a worse idea that he was panicking.

Zhuang Ning was bathed in the chaotic gazes and said quietly: "Ms. Chen, I can't dance."

He really didn't know how to do it. He had never been exposed to the social etiquette and dancing that the nobles had to learn, and as a doctor he didn't need to learn any of them. If the meaning of today's farewell ceremony was not too unique, he would probably just randomly send an operator to act as an envoy of Rhodes Island.

But this is particularly harsh and even terrifying to the ears of the bystanders. Is this person rejecting?

How could he have the courage to reject the future Lord of Longmen City? Everyone was looking at Chen Huijie intently. Zhuang Ning's rejection would make this girl lose face. Perhaps she was already furious in her heart.

No one would think that Chen Huijie is a docile person. She inherited the blood of a dragon. The majesty of a dragon must not be offended. That is its reverse scale. Anyone who dares to violate it will only die.

However, the expected stormy scene did not happen. The girl was quiet for a few seconds, and actually blinked her eyes. Without any anger, she said softly: "I will. I can guide you."

"No need."

"This is my request."

Everyone was stunned, and a storm of emotions surged in their hearts. This was a request... no, it was already a plea, right? At this moment, Chen Huijie was actually begging!

Many people have asked others to search for Zhuang Ning's information, but in the end only one name came out.

Rhode Island.

"How can a pharmaceutical company get such great power?"

The reporter thought to himself that these carnivores were really despicable. This was not an ordinary pharmaceutical company, but he still smiled and said, "Rhodes Island is relatively low-key, but it is very important and is also highly appreciated by Lord Wei."

"so what?"

"Also," the reporter whispered, "Ms. Chen used to be that man's bodyguard."

The horror of the bystanders reached its peak.

This was obviously a deliberate move by Chen Huijie. This small Rhodes Island had always pursued the strategy of being in harmony with the light due to its own size, and was willing to act as a speck of dust under the light, but Chen Huijie put this dust in front of everyone's face.

As the shock spread throughout the banquet hall, Zhuang Ning handed his hand to Chen Huijie with a gentle smile on his face, just like the first time they met: "Then how can I refuse?"

This was the first dance of the banquet. The band listened to opinions and selected music for beginners. The melodious orchestral music was as soft as moonlight. It was a beautiful night. Everyone quietly watched the man and woman in the center dancing, their steps intertwined and their postures gentle.

Zhuang Ning really didn't lie. At first, his dancing was clumsy, but he soon handed over all his movements to Chen Huijie. Chen Huijie also showed the qualities of an aristocratic girl and guided Zhuang Ning to dance one dance after another. Their eyes were on each other, and they were so well matched.

"It seems that Longmen can be safely handed over to Huijie." Wei Yanwu said.

Wen Yue raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

"The Doctor works very well with her. Even if she is unable to do something, there will always be someone to give her advice."

The music faded away and the two stopped dancing. There was already some sweat on Zhuang Ning's face. He slowly turned his neck and saw pairs of eyes filled with jealousy and disdain. He became the center of the stage and the person favored by the Lord of Longmen City.

He also understood the girl's intention. Chen Huijie was expressing her thoughts in this way.

Zhuang Ning remained silent, holding Chen Huijie's hand, and on the way he just showed a just right smile.

He murmured in a voice that only Chen Huijie could hear: "You made your decision."

"Yes." Chen Huijie smiled gently. The devil inspector's smile was the most terrifying in the eyes of mortals, but at this moment, he revealed evasion: "This is our relationship. It was like this before and it will be like this in the future."

She was pretending that she had not seen Zhuang Ning's beast-like gaze at that time, pretending that their relationship was still the same as at the beginning. Even though her heart was as clear as a mirror, the girl turned a blind eye.

It seems as if he is determined to carry it through to the end even if it is false.

How could Zhuang Ning not welcome it? It was just an act, and if the girl didn't mind, he would be happy to do it.

They were in a corner, holding champagne, watching the atmosphere become more and more heated. One by one, political elites or business tycoons came over and sent their blessings to the two of them, as if they were made for each other.

Even if it is a lie, it may become true even if it is told a thousand times.

Then, the lights suddenly dimmed!

There was a violent explosion that shattered the glass on both sides, and the blast hit my face, causing a burning pain.

A scream came from somewhere. It was right in the hall. The polite waiter cut the throat of the lady next to him with a knife. Silently raised the crossbow hidden under the table and aimed it at Zhuang Ning's eyebrows.

Another assassination.

However, unlike the carelessness of Syracuse at that time, this time the killer was ruthless and professional when he pulled the trigger.

boom!

There was a clanging of metal and iron, and the arrowheads of the iron tips were torn apart by the vermilion light. An angry pressure enveloped everyone, as if it was the wrath of a king.

"Who wants to kill him?"

Chi Xiao shines brightly in the dark night, Chen Huijie said coldly.

Chapter 39 I haven't returned home yet

The assassin was very smart. He had let the waiter work in the hotel half a year ago. It seemed that the planner could see the future and had already known that there would be such a party tonight.

But the assassins were also stupid, because whoever their target was, they forgot that there were many terrible people among those present tonight.

The bombs were thrown in the center and exploded with a loud bang, causing people from all directions to scream, but when they came to their senses, no one was injured. All the bombs were engulfed by the sudden sand and soil, and the Originium explosives could not penetrate the thick dust.

The sandstorms and barriers raised by the Rat King wreaked havoc on this stage. More than 20 years ago, he was the most powerful man in the Lower City. Time has aged him, and his energy is not as good as before. However, such a terrifying old man has reached a limit in his control over Originium skills.

"Graytail!" he shouted angrily, "Catch the assassin!"

Wei Yanwu also had a gloomy expression. He had thought that after the blows he had suffered over the past few months, that group of clowns should have taken a break, but he had never imagined that they would still dare to struggle at such an important gathering.

Just now, the waiter who assassinated Xiang Zhuangning had one hand cut off, and blood was gushing out from the broken arm. Chen Huijie's sword was really fast, like the whistling of wind and thunder. Chi Xiao is the sword of the mind, which proves that her heart has reached such a level.

But even though the assassin was so brutal, he did not forget to detonate the explosives in his hand. His eyes were so decisive, without any hesitation.

but.

——Who allowed him to do this?

Wei Yanwu raised his fingertips and used his fingers as swords. The sword light crisscrossed, wiping out the other hand at the moment. He waved it casually. With this man around, the venue was the safest place.

The chaos subsided immediately, and everyone was amazed at the reactions of Wei Yanwu and the Rat King. They were indeed the most reassuring existence in Longmen, the iron wall of Longmen.

"Sir, there are people waiting outside." Wei Yanwu heard the voice and his face was gloomy: "Go and catch them."

"There are quite a few of them."

"I don't want to let anyone go." Wei Yanwu ordered coldly.

The aura disappeared, and the clown chased the fleeing enemy. He did not pose much threat.

"Is the electricity not on yet?"

Seeing that the disaster had subsided, some people complained.

Chen Huijie was panting. She drew out her knife, and the blade was as sharp as frost and snow, shining like a candle in the darkness.

Chen Huijie had indeed put all her strength into the last strike, but the opponent was an expert and had a perfect grasp of the timing. If she had swung a second later, the assassin would have shot an arrow and hit Zhuang Ning's head.

But Chen Huijie was actually overthinking. Zhuang Ning always attached great importance to his own safety and pressed the headset: "It's okay, Scout, don't come out for the time being."

Even if she didn't have time to shoot, Scout would have knocked the arrow away. He was the best shooter in Kazdel and had shot through the same bull's eye three times.

Zhuang Ning frowned, not understanding the significance of this assassination. With so many important figures involved, the defenses must be top-notch. Even the sharp blade of Emperor Ursus could not succeed. Who would be so stupid?

Or is it just a desperate attempt to find a cure?

But this person had predicted what would happen today half a year in advance. He had been planning the assassination for half a year. Is it going to end like this?

"Doctor, are you okay?" Chen Huijie's voice rang out.

"fine."

--fine.

Zhuang Ning was startled and had an idea: Chi Xiao was the sword of mind. Chen Huijie was furious just now and used all his strength. Now his strength was backfired and he was powerless.

Most people went after the assassin.

Zhuang Ning saw a bit of darkness, and his memories emerged, connecting everything. He realized that the real assassin had not left yet!

But no matter how fast the thoughts are, they cannot be used in reality - just like the shadow hidden in the darkness jumped up at this moment.

The assassin was in a very close position, as if he had been there from the beginning. This was the killer, the emperor's sharp blade. This horrible monster had been hiding in the shadows, holding its breath, and even avoiding the perception of Wei Yanwu and the Rat King!

Now, taking advantage of Chen Huijie's weakness, he pulled out the sharp blade, stepped forward silently, and swung out the most beautiful arc in the world -

Time seemed to stand still. At the moment before the knife was swung, a chill of death passed down Chen Huijie's back. The knife had merged into the darkness, having killed countless people, and was heading straight for her neck!

No one could catch up. She looked back in despair and raised the knife to block in despair. Her breathing almost stagnated and her breath was so cold that it almost condensed into white mist. Chen Huijie's will had never been so clear. She watched the black knife cut through the mist and it was only a little bit away from her head.

She thought that she was going to die. Before everything changed, she would never be able to see Longmen's future again, and the vows she made would drift away like duckweed.

then.

She felt warm.

Someone hugged her and whispered softly:

"You can't die."

"You must not die, Chen Huijie. I won't allow it."
