Tower of Origin: I Evolve All Rewards
Chapter 275: The Dream That Could Not Enter
Qin Xue’er’s dream was examined with extreme care.
She was not harmed. Her soul was stable. Her memory remained clear. The blue bell she had seen was the protection array built from Floor 82’s Child Path Protection Bell, reinforced by the Open Future Child Protection Seed and the Nameless Self Mask derivative charm she wore while sleeping.
The red sun had not entered.
But it had listened from outside.
That meant Blood Sun—or a related false solar dream method—had attempted remote dream observation.
Not through Qin Estate barriers directly.
Through general dream currents.
Qin Mo looked exhausted and furious.
"They are trying indirect dream weather."
Mu Qinglan’s voice was cold.
"Can they try again?"
"Yes," Qin Mo said. "But not the same way. I can reinforce."
Qin Wanshan ordered immediate dream-defense expansion for all younger generation members.
Qin Xue’er sat in the treatment room, swinging her legs.
"Did I do good?"
Mu Qinglan smiled gently.
"You told us immediately. That was very good."
Qin Xue’er looked at Qin Yuheng.
"Was it the bad sun?"
"Yes."
"Then my charm worked?"
"Yes."
She looked proud.
"Can I get a stronger one?"
Qin Yuheng nodded.
"You can."
Qin Mo muttered, "She negotiates under crisis."
Qin Xue’er heard him.
"I learned from Sister Lin."
That made Qin Mo sigh deeply.
Lin Xian’er, when told, laughed for almost half a minute.
Then became serious.
"If they are testing dream currents, they may not know her exact talent. They know she is protected, perceptive, and important."
That was still dangerous.
Jiang Yuexuan sent a warning through official channel:
False solar dream-listening often requires a reflected emotional signal.
Young perceptive children may notice it before adults.
Do not let her fear the noticing. Teach recognition, not panic.
Mu Qinglan agreed.
So Qin Xue’er began dream-recognition lessons.
Not advanced cultivation.
Not Tower training.
Recognition.
If she saw red sun, black bell, false moon, shadow road, or unknown voices, she should wake and report.
She treated it like a game.
That was healthier than fear.
Qin Yuze became protective, almost too much.
He stood outside Qin Xue’er’s courtyard one evening with his training spear.
Qin Yuheng found him there.
"She is asleep," Qin Yuheng said.
"I know."
"You standing here does not stop dream currents."
Qin Yuze looked embarrassed.
"I know."
"Then why?"
"Because I can stand here."
Qin Yuheng did not scold him.
Sometimes love needed an action, even symbolic.
But he said, "Do not let protection become fear cage."
Qin Yuze grimaced.
"Eleventh Gate lesson?"
"Yes."
"Annoying."
"Important."
Qin Yuze stayed a little longer, then left.
Floor progression paused for ten days while dream defenses stabilized.
During the pause, Qin Yuheng used the Future Talent Scar Healing Core and Child Path Protection Bell to help several academy children affected by earlier dream-script tokens. Sanitized versions only, under Yu Qingmei’s supervision.
This increased academy trust in him further.
But it also increased dependence.
Yu Qingmei warned him.
"Do not become the only solution."
"I know."
"Build healers."
So they trained healers.
Qin Meirong? In this novel mother is Mu Qinglan; Qin family healers and academy healers were taught detection methods. Qin Yuheng contributed tools, not personal presence alone.
Floor 121 file arrived during this period.
[Floor 121: The Dream Orchard Under Red Clouds]
Type:
Dream invasion / child-path protection / false sun listening / orchard defense.
Estimated Duration:
Unknown dream-time.
Warning:
A dream heard by enemies may become a door if feared.]
Qin Mo read it and stared at the ceiling.
"The Tower is not subtle."
Qin Yuheng’s eyes were calm.
This floor directly answered Qin Xue’er’s incident.
He would enter.
Not because the enemy rushed him.
Because the Tower offered training for the exact defense they needed.
Rightful time.
