Chapter 29 – Senior Sister Yan is my beloved relative and sister!
Facing Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's pressing questions, Brandon Jiang was about to answer when he suddenly realized a crucial issue.
The Villain of the Blood Sea who killed Yan Baobao was technically his master.
If this old man killed someone, would Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix take it out on him?
No, he absolutely couldn't reveal any connection between himself and the Villain of the Blood Sea.
Brandon's mind raced, and he quickly knelt on the ground, showing just the right amount of fear as he said, "Reporting to Senior Sister, Senior Sister Yan was showing me around Purple Lotus Peak just now, but when we got here, her voice became hoarse like a man's, and what she said was very strange!"
"When she turned around, I saw that her original face had fallen off, revealing the face of an ugly man underneath! He kept screaming at me, saying all sorts of frightening things."
"I was so scared that I instinctively punched him and then immediately ran to inform the other senior sisters."
"That's all I saw. I hope Senior Sister will investigate thoroughly!"
"An ugly man's face?"
Sandra Ye stared at Brandon for a while, her brows furrowing slightly. "There have never been male cultivators in the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Is he an outsider demon?"
Of course, she didn't fully believe Brandon's words and instead looked at the white-robed disciple standing dazedly beside the purple jade stone, asking, "Tong Ya, is what this girl said true?"
Brandon's heart tightened at her words.
The Villain of the Blood Sea had been calling him "good disciple" earlier. If Senior Sister Tong Ya heard that and told Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, he would be done for!
But at this point, there was nothing he could do. His heart pounded so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest.
However, under Sandra Ye's and all the white-robed disciples' scrutiny, Tong Ya tilted her head in confusion and said, "Huh?"
"Did something happen here just now? I was cleaning this purple jade stone the whole time, and when I came to my senses, you were all here."
Everyone was stunned by her words.
Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix waved her hand, and a beam of celestial light enveloped Tong Ya, examining her thoroughly to confirm her identity hadn't been swapped.
"Tong Ya, do you really not remember anything? Don't you know Baobao was here?"
Tong Ya frowned, carefully recalling, and then quickly said, "I did see Senior Sister Yan walking this way with a young junior sister, chatting and laughing."
Only then did she react and exclaimed, "That's right, where is Senior Sister Yan? How did she suddenly disappear?!"
Hearing this, everyone realized something was wrong.
Tong Ya's memory had a gap, and it was precisely the memory of Yan Baobao's death!
But how did she lose her memory? Could it be that the male cultivator who killed Yan Baobao erased it on purpose?
But why would he do that?
He had already killed Yan Baobao, so why would he be afraid of killing a few more witnesses?
The whole situation became even more bizarre.
At this moment, Sandra Ye looked back at Brandon, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness. "Tong Ya has lost her memory, so you're the only witness left. How can you prove what you said is true?"
"And who exactly are you? Why did you suddenly appear on Purple Lotus Peak, and why were you with Baobao when she died?"
One question after another made Brandon break out in a cold sweat.
Tong Ya's memory loss was fortunate, but being the only witness left him with no way to prove himself.
And the reason he was here was also a big pitfall. He couldn't possibly say he bribed Senior Sister Yan to find out Sandra Ye's preferences!
Each problem pushed Brandon to the brink of despair.
His hesitation made Sandra Ye's killing intent surge.
"What! Is it so hard to answer my questions? Or are you hiding something from me, afraid to speak!"
A terrifying pressure bore down on Brandon, making it seem like he would die the next moment.
The white-robed disciples present all looked on mockingly. This little girl was really unlucky, running into Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's wrath.
If she weren't the only witness, she would have been dead already.
But next, she would definitely face a brutal torture session, which was Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's specialty.
Under this overwhelming pressure, Brandon knew he couldn't stay silent any longer.
In a short time, he came up with a risky move.
He could only gamble now!

The next second, Brandon burst into tears in front of everyone, collapsing to the ground, looking pitiful and helpless.
He kept wiping his tears, stammering through his sobs, "Please, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, believe me. I swear I am telling the truth!"
Sandra Ye frowned, her eyes full of impatience and killing intent. "Why are you crying! Are you feeling guilty?"
Brandon cried as he spoke, "Wuwuwu, Senior Sister Yan was my dearest friend, like a sister to me. Her death has nearly broken my heart, but I forced myself to answer your questions."
"And now my testimony is being doubted, letting the real culprit go free. I couldn't help but cry."
Sandra Ye was taken aback, her killing intent receding, her tone softening a bit. "You, you were like sisters with Baobao?"@@novelbin@@
Brandon nodded tearfully and said, "Senior Sister Yan and I grew up together. I'm an orphan, and though she wasn't my real sister, she treated me like one. Without her care, I would have died long ago."
"Later, she went to the Heavenly Lotus Sect to seek immortality and inquire the Dao, and we were separated."
"I heard from her that if she ever succeeded in her cultivation, she would come back for me, but before that day came, I was captured by an evil cultivator. It was a fairy from the Heavenly Lotus Sect who saved me."
"Because of this, I joined the Heavenly Lotus Sect. After entering, I worked hard to cultivate and kept searching for Senior Sister Yan. I finally found out she was working for you, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix."
"I kept working hard and eventually caught Senior Sister Patricia Qing's eye, who recommended me to Purple Lotus Peak to become your disciple."
"Just a few hours ago, we sisters finally reunited. Senior Sister Yan told me she had looked for me, but our hometown had been destroyed by that demon, and she thought I was dead. She promised to take good care of me now that we were reunited."
At this point, Brandon cried even louder, his voice filled with sorrow. "But who would have thought, just a few hours after our reunion, she was killed by that demon!"
"My heart hurts so much now, it feels like dying! Wuwuwu!!!"
After crying for a while, Brandon, with red eyes, murmured as if in a dream, "I still remember the days when Senior Sister Yan and I depended on each other. It was winter, and I was bedridden with a cold. She wore thin clothes and lay on the ice to melt it, catching fish to make soup for me."
"I've always remembered her kindness, but I haven't had the chance to repay her. I owe her so much!"
Listening to Brandon's tearful recount, Sandra Ye was slightly moved.
The white-robed disciples who were ready to watch the show were also dumbfounded.
This little girl had such a deep relationship with Yan Baobao! Like dearest friends, like sisters!
With this identity, given Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's relationship with Yan Baobao, she would surely treat her well.
She might even become another favorite of Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix.
Thinking of this, a white-robed disciple immediately spoke up, "Reporting to Senior Sister, I did see this junior sister chatting and laughing with Senior Sister Yan while cleaning Purple Lotus Peak."
Other white-robed disciples also chimed in, "I saw it too. I've never seen Senior Sister Yan so close to anyone before."
"Yes, I believe this junior sister is telling the truth. She and Senior Sister Yan had a deep sisterly bond."
These were things they had witnessed with their own eyes, and saying them now was to build a good relationship with Brandon.
With so many subordinates testifying, Sandra Ye had no doubts about Brandon's identity.
Besides the reason Brandon gave, she couldn't think of any other reason why Yan Baobao would be so close to a newcomer.
What she overlooked was that benefits are the best way to foster relationships.
What do you think?
