"Child, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."
"..."
Sunday fell silent. He walked to the room's window, looking up slightly, seemingly in thought or perhaps admiring the view.
A moment later, Sunday finally spoke:
"Please rest assured, I have never betrayed."
"You must tell me what happened during that time."
Dream Master Gefei Mu remained relentless, his tone growing stern.
"It was merely a personal cooperation I established with him."
"Foolish! Without the harmony family's restraint on him, how can you alone guarantee he won't breach the contract?"
Gefei Mu's tone became somewhat perplexed and angry. He couldn't quite understand how this excellent child, whom he had watched grow up, could make such a poor decision.
Sunday sighed.
"Begging your pardon, I don't believe the harmony family can restrain that individual, and I merely happen to possess something he desires."
"Hmph, even a Genius Society member, if not an Emanator, can absolutely not withstand the wrath of the Infinite Husband."
Gefei Mu's tone was very certain. He looked at Sunday, awaiting his reply.
Sunday didn't want to waste any more words on this. He understood that things had reached this point, and neither he nor the Dream Master had any room to turn back.
Even if he convinced him, it wouldn't change anything.
Instead of discussing unchangeable facts, it would be better to focus his energy on other variables.
So, Sunday turned around and looked at the family member possessed by the Dream Master.
He spoke in a calm tone.
"That Huang Quan, have you found anything on your end?"
The Dream Master frowned. He also understood Sunday's intention at this moment. He didn't say much, but he had firmly remembered the name Jiang Lin in his heart.
"I did find traces of her in Penacony."
Sunday pondered for a moment, then asked again.
"How did she infiltrate Penacony?"
The Dream Master shook his head, replying somewhat helplessly:
"We previously speculated that she might have stolen another guest's invitation. This time, I specifically investigated, and found no issues, but she still got in."
Finally, the Dream Master added:
"If possible, I will do my best to make this person leave Penacony."
After saying this, the Dream Master left.
Sunday, however, was somewhat silent, his head slightly bowed.
"One can only hope..."
Sunday originally didn't want to lose, and when he thought about how his failure might implicate Robin, he absolutely could not lose.
To be honest, Sunday didn't trust Jiang Lin as much as he appeared to.
Even though the two had already sworn an oath of cooperation under the light of harmony.
But if he could personally protect his sister in his own way, how could he entrust his sister's safety to a powerful stranger?
If Jiang Lin hadn't shown enough strength at the time, Sunday would have definitely made a move against him.
Sunday sighed, but the thoughts in his heart were very firm.
"Only a paradise of order can save everyone, and Robin can only be protected by me."

Meanwhile, in the depths of Penacony's dream, an elegant member of the Garden of Recollection appeared somewhat disheveled.
Her exquisite face was constantly tense, and her beautiful eyes were filled with vigilance.
At this moment, Black Swan was filled with helplessness. She had thought that by hiding in Penacony, she could have some peace for a while.
But the reality completely exceeded her expectations; not only were various factions searching for her, but even some members of the Garden of Recollection harbored ill intentions towards her.
Many members of the Garden of Recollection had come to Penacony this time, some to collect memories worth preserving.
However, another portion had come to intercept her.
So, based on her recent experiences, at least five out of ten members of the Garden of Recollection in Penacony were there to intercept her.
Black Swan pondered for a moment. The only way she could think of to break the deadlock was to find an ally who didn't harbor too much malice towards her and whose strength was decent.
After carefully sifting through the current factions and situation in Penacony, she found a target—the Astral Express!
------
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin soon received two items sent by the family.
A box and a bag of ceremonial money.
Jiang Lin opened them and quickly found what he wanted.
Jadeite, Topaz, and... shattered Aventurine mixed in with a pile of expensive gemstones... Jiang Lin's eyes seemed to be sparkling at this moment; the three cornerstones before him were so alluring.
He only needed to spend some time and use some methods to erase all traces of their original owners, and then they would completely transform into Jiang Lin's shape.
Just as he was about to take action, an unexpected turn of events occurred... ------
A while ago
Stellaron Hunters
"I say, Elio, is it really necessary for the script to continue?"
Silver Wolf lay sideways on a sofa, full of confusion. After all, it was already such a mess; what was the point of continuing?
Kafka sat beside her, gently comforting her:
"Trust Elio. He wants the script to proceed smoothly more than any of us."
At this moment, Elio's voice came through.
"Of course, it's necessary to continue. Although the script is a mess, I'm trying my best to salvage it. You don't think I'm really just acting crazy in the live stream every day, do you?"
Silver Wolf put down her phone and replied calmly.
"Aren't you?"
Elio bristled a bit: "What kind of talk is that? Is that how you see me? I need to set you straight."
Kafka and Blade exchanged glances, both choosing to remain silent.
"In my original script, there was no Jiang Lin at all. Although I don't know where he came from, he's definitely a variable.
But in the new script I received, there is a storyline involving Jiang Lin.
And that storyline is completely different from my original script."
Silver Wolf asked curiously: "What does that mean?"
Elio continued:
"Let me continue. Take the script on Xianzhou Loufu as an example.
In that new script, after the decisive battle with Phantylia, the Loufu General Jing Yuan would be induced into a Mara-Struck state by Jiang Lin using special means, and Phantylia would be left with a contingency plan, and would eventually die at Jiang Lin's hands."
Then Elio sighed, continuing helplessly:
"It's vastly different from the original script, isn't it?"
Then, Elio said with a hint of triumph:
"However, ever since that live stream appeared, I've deliberately used video streaming to guide the already chaotic plot, so that its outcome wouldn't change too much.
I succeeded. In the Loufu script, although the process was a mess, Jing Yuan is fine, Phantylia escaped, and the Astral Express Crew also obtained the Alliance Jade Abacus.
The result isn't too different from the original script, is it?"
Silver Wolf raised an eyebrow, asking a critical question:
"Aren't you afraid he'll deliberately seek revenge on you once he knows you manipulated him?"
