Unfortunately, everything happened too suddenly, like a sudden storm that swept in without warning, instantly turning all her efforts into nothing.
In the end, she was unable to stop the cruel tragedy from unfolding, like watching a beautiful flower wither in a storm, its petals scattered on the ground, powerless to do anything about it.
At that moment, her heart felt as if it were being torn apart. Anger surged up like a tidal wave, but she could only suppress it and bury it deep in her heart.
By the time she found out, the heads of Lin Jincheng's family were already hanging high on the city wall, swaying precariously in the wind.
That scene pierced her eyes like a nightmare; every tremor felt like a hammer blow to her heart, filling her with waves of anger.
Beneath the hanging head lay a deathly silence and the stench of blood; the air was thick with a nauseating stench, as if telling the story of the horrific tragedy.
The perpetrators of this tragedy were none other than Shadow One and his companions.
Yu Ying's anger erupted like raging lava, and her hatred spread wildly through her heart like wildfire, burning every inch of her skin.
Her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks, but she was completely unaware of it, her heart filled with endless anger and helplessness.
At this point, any more anger is futile, like waving a fist at empty air.
All that remained was a surge of helplessness in her heart, overwhelming her and plunging her into a deep sense of powerlessness.
She pondered to herself, given how much Qin Qianluo cherished her family, it was surprising that her uncle's family had passed away in such a tragic way.
She must be heartbroken and devastated at this moment.
The thought that Qin Qianluo might be immersed in endless pain made Yu Ying's heart feel as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible yet powerful hand.
That dull, aching pain spread from the depths of my heart, gradually reaching my entire body.
This feeling was so foreign and indescribable to her.
Having walked through this cold world for many years, she had long since become accustomed to hiding her emotions, wrapping her heart tightly, like a snail curled up in its shell.
I have never felt this way before, and I never thought my heart would ache so much for someone.
She didn't understand that this was actually heartache, a special feeling she had for Qin Qianluo that was hidden deep in her heart and that she herself had never realized.
This feeling, like a new sprout breaking through the soil, quietly grew in her heart, and even though she tried to suppress it, she still couldn't stop it from spreading.
She exhaled softly, trying to dispel the strange, dull pain in her heart. The breath seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight as it slowly escaped from her lips.
She raised her head slightly, looked into the distance, and after confirming that Qin Qianluo and her group had not attracted the slightest attention from the Jizi Kingdom, she did not linger any longer.
She turned gracefully, each movement elegant and resolute, like a proud phoenix, leaving the city gate with firm steps.
Her silhouette stretched longer under the dim light, appearing so lonely yet resolute, as if she had drawn a line between herself and everything in this world.
Not long after she left, a dark figure quietly appeared in the shadows of the city gate tower.
The shadowy figure was like a phantom born from darkness, its form as light as a falling feather, silently blending into the night under its cover.
The shadowy figure moved with fluid grace, without a single superfluous sound, as if it had merged with the darkness, becoming a part of it.
The dark figure flashed and skillfully evaded all the patrolling soldiers with an almost ghostly speed.
The soldiers, like oblivious puppets, were completely unaware of the danger and continued their patrol routes mechanically.
The dark figure moved as if it were in an empty room, heading straight for the room where Yu Ying had just been. Each step was light and firm, as if it knew everything about the place.
The shadowy figure entered the room, lowered its head slightly, and looked at the group of people lying haphazardly on the ground.
His eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, as if the person in front of him was the most despicable piece of trash in the world.
A slight upturn of his lips revealed a cold, disdainful expression; his smile was like winter frost, sending chills down one's spine.
Immediately, the shadowy figure lowered his voice and muttered under his breath, "Useless!"
Although his voice was soft, it was filled with disgust and anger, as if those few words contained all his loathing.
The sound echoed in the silent room, like a ghostly whisper, sending chills down one's spine.
Then, the figure disappeared back into the night, like a gentle breeze that had passed by without leaving a trace, as if it had never been there at all.
The empty room remained, silently recounting everything that had just happened in the dim light. In that silent atmosphere, there seemed to be a lingering sense of tension and anger.
In the deep embrace of the night, Qin Qianluo and her group resembled a group of shadows driven by a mission.
They swiftly stealthily made their way along the winding path towards the place they had agreed to meet with Qin Jiyuan and Qin Qianyu.
The night was as dark as ink, so thick it seemed impossible to see through. All was silent except for the sound of their footsteps, hurried yet steady, like drumbeats breaking the stillness of the night.
The voice, in the empty night, seemed to carry an urgent tale, or perhaps a breathtaking race against time.
As they approached the agreed-upon location, Qin Qianluo's expression grew increasingly solemn, like a mountain about to be crushed by grief.
She slowly closed her eyes and carefully took out the remains one by one from the temporary storage space, her movements as gentle as if she were touching the most fragile and precious treasures in the world.
