A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd, surprise and disbelief etched on their faces. The revelation of Zhin's true intentions shattered the image they had held of him for so long. The traitor, the betrayer, was now revealed to be a silent protector, a hero who had sacrificed his own honor and happiness for the sake of his kingdom.
Qian Guanting's eyes widened, tears welling up once more. She looked at Zhin, her heart aching with a mix of regret and renewed affection. "Zhin..." she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Zhin's expression remained stoic, but a flicker of vulnerability passed through his eyes. He turned away, unable to meet her gaze.
Alex, sensing the emotional turmoil swirling around them, stepped forward. "Let's not dwell on the past," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "The important thing is that Zhin is back, and he's here to help us."
Wang Jianhong's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend Li Luoyang's words.
