At this moment, Sunday had not yet woken up from her dream.
The thing turned toward death, its eyes blazing with purple light, and it shrieked as it chased after it.
The robin staggered and ran wildly, calling out as it went, hoping to get help from the hound family's guards.
Unfortunately, the guards of the Hound family had been dispatched into the dream world several system times ago by the family to capture the illegal immigrant Sam.
The robin tripped and fell heavily onto the carpet as it ran.
She could already hear the wailing of something behind her, a cry of impending death.
Despair filled the robin's beautiful eyes as she struggled to get up.
Just then, Su Jinyan and Huahuo passed by in the corridor, chatting and laughing.
The robin seemed to see a glimmer of hope and cried out urgently, "Help—"
Before it could even utter the word "help," the robin was caught by something with its tailbone pointing toward death and thrown high into the air.
Just as the sharp, gleaming fake blade was about to pierce the robin's chest.
Su Jinyan frowned and instantly appeared in front of the robin.
Immediately afterwards, he caught the blade barehanded, deflecting the fake, deadly thrust that was aimed at her.
"Hey! Who dares to cause trouble on my turf?"
The creature was in a very awkward position, facing death, with its sharp tailbone held tightly in Su Jinyan's palm.
Its powerful suction, like that of a spring breeze spirit, made it impossible for it to escape.
It desperately wanted to escape, but it couldn't.
Fireworks hopped and skipped to the robin.
"Hey, chicken wing girl, you're in luck!"
"If we hadn't happened to be passing by, you would be dead."
The robin breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you both for saving me. I will repay you."
"Robin, robin—!"
On Sunday, I rushed out of the door and ran wildly down the corridor, calling out the name of the robin.
The robin called out hastily, "Brother, I'm here!"
On Sunday, he was extremely anxious and ran towards the sound as fast as he could after hearing it.
But as soon as he arrived on Sunday, he witnessed a scene that terrified him.
His sister, Robin, was bound in mid-air by Memory Realm Meme, while Su Jinyan held onto Memory Realm Meme's fake dagger.
At first glance, it would seem as if Su Jinyan was manipulating the Memory Realm Meme to do something dirty to the Robin.
"Let her go!"
On Sunday, I was overcome with anger and my reason was clouded.
Before the robin could stop him, he pulled out a baton and swung it with beautiful chords, aiming it at Su Jinyan's direction.
Su Jinyan calmly stepped back, avoiding the chords of Sunday.
Even facing death, He Wu finally caught its breath and, without hesitation, vanished into the purple mist before their eyes.
The robin cried out in alarm and fell from the sky.
Hanabi exclaimed, "Oh, darling, catch her quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Sunday, who had been rushing over to catch the robin, hesitated for a moment and slowed down.
That's right, Su Jinyan's location was closest to the robin.
He could have easily jumped up, naturally embraced the robin, and further increased her favorability.
But he didn't do that.
Because he knew that in his brother-in-law's eyes, everything he did was wrong, and there were only two possible outcomes.
If he were to hug the robin, Sunday would most likely say: "You little brat, how dare you take advantage of my sister? I'll fucking fight you!"
If he hadn't caught the robin, Sunday might have said: "You bastard, you were so close to my sister and you just watched her fall and get hurt."
So he remained unmoved and just stood there watching the show.
The robin fell onto the carpet with a thud, rubbing its tender little bottom and groaning in pain.
"Woooooo~"
A few tears welled up in the robin's beautiful emerald eyes, and it let out a pitiful sob.
Su Jinyan whistled: "Wow, that was quite a fall."
"You should adjust your balance in the air so that you can land smoothly."
The robin's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. She had miscalculated; she had originally thought that Su Jinyan would catch her.
Sunday rushed over and helped the robin up: "Are you alright, robin?"
The robin whispered, "Um... I'm alright, brother..."
On Sunday, she looked coldly at Su Jinyan: "Why didn't you catch the robin just now?"
Su Jinyan was taken aback: "Why? What does this have to do with me?"
Hanabi said, "It's none of your business, that's why I made you catch her."
Su Jinyan spread his hands and said, "Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate."
Sunday: "You—"
The robin tugged at Sunday's sleeve, slightly annoyed.
"Brother, don't be angry with my savior."
On Sunday, he squinted and scrutinized Su Jinyan for a long time.
Su Jinyan looked at Sunday quietly, her eyes filled with amusement.
On Sunday, he took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help, Fool."
Su Jinyan raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you're not stupid."
"I thought you would blame me for the appearance of the Memory Realm Mystery."
Sunday said in a cold voice, "This is such an obvious frame-up."
“If I couldn’t see it, I wouldn’t be worthy of being the head of the Oak family.”
The family had actually heard about the attack on the Dream Chaser by the Memories of the Realm.
The heads of the five major families were aware of the matter, but in order not to cause panic, the families chose to suppress it and not take any action.
As for the eyewitnesses, all of them underwent amnesia.
Admittedly, the blade and tailbone of that Memory Realm Meme were fitted with fake chimeras, which is very much in line with Su Jinyan's usual style.
But such obvious marks are highly illogical.
Sunday quickly figured it out: if Su Jinyan wanted to play the hero and win over the robin's favor...
He could easily create countless classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenarios; there's no need for him to focus on this particular approach.
And he just happened to witness this scene. What was he after?
Is this possible for a cunning fool?
It's obvious that someone wants to harm his sister, the robin.
Either there was a traitor in the family, or it was related to his enemies.
If Su Jinyan hadn't happened to appear, the robin's story might have ended in tragedy.
In that instant, the image of placer gold flashed through Sunday's mind.
All of this is likely related to the company's envoy, who arrived uninvited before the incident and deliberately delayed his arrival.
His reason for doing this was to frame Su Jinyan and incite hostility between the family and Su Jinyan.
Sunday's most cherished family member is the robin. He may not be the head of the oak family, but he cannot lose the robin.
If he were truly misled, the heads of other families would never stand on his side; no one would want to be Su Jinyan's enemy.
When that time comes, Sunday will absolutely do whatever it takes to avenge the robin—even at the cost of his own life.
The robin grasped Su Jinyan's hands and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, sir."
"If the gentleman hadn't arrived just in time, the robin would probably have perished."
On Sunday, my eyelid twitched slightly. I wanted to speak up and stop it, but I held back.
Su Jinyan turned around and stroked the robin's soft little hands.
"Miss Robin, you're being too polite."
"We're like family, right? I'm your biggest fan, so I definitely won't stand for you being wronged."
"Besides, we fools are always happy to help others and do good deeds without expecting anything in return."
