Ning Chenyi's face was ashen, his expression as solemn as an iceberg about to collapse, taking in every fleeting change in the expressions on everyone's faces.
His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, his internal organs twisted into a knot, and a turbulent mix of emotions churning within him.
He slowly closed his eyes, his thick, long eyelashes trembling slightly like withered leaves in the wind, as he tried his best to suppress the deep sorrow and anger surging within him like a tsunami.
Each tremor seemed to be a desperate struggle against the surging tide of grief and anger.
When I opened my eyes again, they were filled with an overwhelming sense of grief, like a deep, dark pool where endless sorrow surged within.
He took a deep breath, but his breath trembled slightly like a candle flickering in the wind, as if he had mustered all his strength and immense courage.
Only then did he slowly recount the matter of receiving the confidential document, in a tone so heavy it seemed to crush the air.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu felt as if a deafening roar had exploded in her mind, like a thunderbolt of unparalleled power, carrying the force to destroy the world.
The deafening roar seemed to shatter her entire world in an instant. She felt as if she had been struck by a massive hammer.
It felt as if my soul had been shaken out of my body, my mind went blank for a moment, and all my thoughts and consciousness seemed to have been blasted to ashes by the thunder in that instant.
Her legs felt as if all the tendons and strength had been removed, as limp as cooked noodles.
His body swayed uncontrollably, like a leaf falling in a gale, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Su Jinyun caught a glimpse of Qin Qianluo's unusual behavior out of the corner of her eye, and her heart instantly leaped into her throat as if punched by a heavy fist. Her eyes were filled with panic and worry, like a frightened bird.
Without thinking, almost instinctively, she quickly reached out her hands and steadily supported Qin Qianluo's swaying, frail body.
Su Jinyun's beautiful eyes were already filled with sorrowful tears, like dewdrops trembling on lotus leaves in the early morning.
Those tears were filled with heartache for Qin Qianluo and sorrow for this cruel reality.
Qin Jiyuan was struck as if by an overwhelming, invisible force. His body swayed violently, and he staggered, almost losing his balance.
His eyes were filled with confusion and resistance, as if he was unwilling to accept the nightmare-like reality before him.
He involuntarily shook his head, as if trying to shake the terrible news out of his mind, muttering to himself incessantly.
His voice trembled with despair, like the low growl of a wounded beast: "No, this can't be real... something must be wrong... this isn't real..."
His body seemed to have been drained of all its supporting energy, like a building whose foundation had been hollowed out.
It went limp uncontrollably, and all its strength vanished without a trace in that instant.
Just as Qin Jiyuan was about to fall straight to the ground and make intimate contact with the hard ground, the officials behind him reacted with lightning speed.
Like a black arrow, she rushed forward with lightning speed and steadily supported him.
The official's movements were swift and powerful, as if he were wrestling with fate to prevent Qin Jiyuan from falling heavily and suffering pain.
The once bustling hunting ground, filled with laughter and vitality, now seemed to have time cruelly paused, and the whole world stood still at this moment.
The silence was unsettling, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden, devastating news, as if they had been frozen in place by a strange spell.
Shock and grief were written on everyone's face; their mouths were slightly open, but no sound came out.
The air seemed to be filled with a thick, suffocating haze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Sorrow, like an invisible and cold tentacle, spreads silently yet irresistibly into everyone's heart, tightly binding them, making it impossible to break free.
Qin Qianluo leaned weakly against Su Jinyun, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all focus, like a stagnant pool without the slightest ripple.
She still refused to believe what she was hearing; this cruel reality felt like a nightmare from which she could never wake up.
She subconsciously and anxiously questioned Feng Qingyun in her heart, her voice filled with pleading and expectation, as if she had grasped the last straw.
"This can't be real, right? Rainbow Dash, tell me this is all just a nightmare, tell me... You must have a way to prove this isn't real..."
At this moment, Feng Qingyun was also filled with self-blame and grief, her heart was being torn apart as if she were being cut into a thousand pieces.
She quickly mustered all her strength to examine it, and saw that the booklet belonging to Qin Qianluo's uncle's family was covered in a dark gray color, a grayness like the shadow of death and sorrow, shrouding every page.
Normally, when such a tragic event occurs, the booklet should be reddish.
But she hadn't noticed this anomaly at all before, and now the regret in her heart was like a surging tide, almost drowning her.
She felt deeply guilty, thinking it was all her fault for being so careless.
If I had noticed this subtle change sooner, would my uncle's family have had a chance to escape this disaster?
She suppressed the excruciating pain in her heart, her voice trembling and choked with sobs, as if every word had taken all her strength.
With difficulty, he said, "Luo Bao, your uncle's family did indeed die for their country."
Seven days ago, the Kingdom of Jizi launched a fierce attack without any warning.
They attacked like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, their offensive was exceptionally fierce, and they caught everyone off guard like a sudden storm.
