Chapter 30 – Yan Baobao's death is more effective than being alive
Sandra Ye's gaze softened as she looked at Brandon Jiang.
Yan Baobao was dead, and the only people she was close to in life were herself and this little junior sister.
This child had become her attendant, and she should take good care of her in the future.
She landed gently on the ground, helped Brandon Jiang up, and asked, "What's your name?"
Brandon Jiang stopped crying and answered timidly, "Brandon Jiang."
Sandra Ye nodded and said, "Junior Sister Brandon, I didn't doubt your testimony. I was just as concerned about Baobao as you were, so I didn't want to miss any details."
Brandon Jiang, with red-rimmed eyes, sincerely said, "Sister Yan told me that you were the best to her in the entire Heavenly Lotus Sect. She would be very happy to know how much you care about her."
Hearing this, Sandra Ye's beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and her gaze towards Brandon Jiang became even kinder.
Brandon Jiang, seeing Sandra Ye's mood improve, quickly added, "But Senior Sister, you are right. My testimony alone might be wrong."
"You don't know, I was once captured by a demon and tortured day and night, leaving a shadow in my heart. So when I encounter terrifying things, I often have hallucinations, mistaking the culprit for that demon."
"There was also a disappearance case on Green Leaf Peak before, and I mistook the culprit for that demon. But that demon was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining and had long been dead."
"And this time, I also mistook the face of the culprit..."
At this point, Brandon Jiang was on the verge of tears, feeling guilty, "I'm useless. I misidentified such an important scene, unable to help Senior Sister Sandra, and unable to avenge Sister Yan. I'm useless!"
As she spoke, she slapped herself hard, and in the blink of an eye, her fair and tender cheeks were covered with blood marks.@@novelbin@@
Sandra Ye quickly grabbed Brandon Jiang's hands and sighed softly, "It's not your fault. I understand the psychological trauma caused by those demonic cultivators."
"Besides, even if you had seen the culprit's face clearly, it might not have helped. The outcome would be like Tong Ya's, losing that part of the memory directly."
"But don't worry, I will definitely find the culprit who killed Baobao and avenge her!"
Brandon Jiang was immediately moved, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for understanding! I'm useless. Perhaps only a great cultivator like you can find out the true culprit."
Sandra Ye nodded, feeling both surprised and emotional.
Brandon Jiang and Baobao were indeed like sisters, speaking in such a similar way that made people feel comfortable.
She comforted Brandon Jiang a few more times and then began to carefully investigate the area where Yan Baobao disappeared, looking for any clues about the culprit.

Meanwhile, Brandon Jiang, who had been left aside, finally had a chance to breathe a long sigh of relief!
At this moment, his legs were weak, and waves of fear surged in his heart.
Surviving a deadly situation!
Being questioned by Senior Sister Sandra about the authenticity of his testimony, his identity, his purpose for coming to Purple Lotus Peak, and the reason for being with Yan Baobao at the time of her death.
Each question was enough to put him to death.
And for each question, he had things he couldn't say, and if the answer didn't satisfy Senior Sister Sandra, he would be dead for sure!
How should he answer?
No matter how he answered, it would be a dead end!
The only solution was to improve Senior Sister Sandra's attitude towards him and make all his actions reasonable.
Especially improving Senior Sister Sandra's attitude, he had to achieve this. Otherwise, no matter how reasonable his answers were, if they didn't help find the true culprit who killed Yan Baobao, he would still be dead!
How to break this deadlock?
Under the endless pressure of death, Brandon Jiang thought of only one way.
That was to use Yan Baobao, who was already dead!
No one knew the true relationship between him and Yan Baobao. They only saw him and Yan Baobao walking intimately on Purple Lotus Peak.
Since the dead wouldn't speak, he could completely fabricate their relationship.
So, Brandon Jiang exaggerated his relationship with Yan Baobao, saying they had known each other since childhood and were close friends and sisters!
With this, Senior Sister Sandra's attitude change was predictable.
But this was also a risky move.
He wasn't sure if Yan Baobao had ever told Senior Sister Sandra about his mortal days.
If she had, all his lies would be exposed, and he would be dead.
Of course, Brandon Jiang was quite confident that Yan Baobao hadn't said anything.
Having been in the Heavenly Lotus Sect for so long, he knew very well what these cultivators were like. Except for a few exceptions, they were no longer the same as mortals.
Those old and trivial matters, Yan Baobao definitely wouldn't mention. Even if she wanted to, she would have to consider whether Senior Sister Sandra was willing to listen.
He had gambled successfully, using his quick wit and superb acting skills to deceive everyone!
With this gamble, he saved his life and even gained Senior Sister Sandra's favor.
Plus, with the tips Yan Baobao had given him on how to please Senior Sister Sandra, it wasn't impossible for him to take Yan Baobao's place in the future!
With Senior Sister Sandra's favor, he could then fill in the gaps in his story, like having encountered similar incidents before and seeing the culprit as the Villain of the Blood Sea both times.
Without a foundation of favor, if he said such things, Senior Sister Sandra would definitely think he was mocking her and slap him to death!
But with favor, everything was different.
"Thank you, Yan Baobao."
Brandon Jiang murmured in his heart, "You are much more useful dead than alive."
That Human Base he bribed Yan Baobao with was truly worth it.
Brandon Jiang wiped away the remaining tears at the corners of his eyes. To cry, he had thought of all the sad things from this life and the previous one, almost unable to cry.
This made Brandon Jiang sigh; the Heavenly Lotus Sect really trained people.
He had only been here for a few days, and his acting skills had reached perfection, able to cry and laugh at will.
Thinking carefully, during his time at the Heavenly Lotus Sect, he had always been acting: acting as a woman, acting as someone with a firm Daoist Heart, acting as someone who loved Chu Jun, acting as someone loyal to Patricia Qing, and acting as Yan Baobao's sister.
It seemed that his acting skills were the most important means for him to survive in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, and he needed to practice more in the future.
But he also had to be careful to stay true to himself, or he might forget who he really was after acting for too long.
After resolving the life-and-death crisis, Brandon Jiang felt a few doubts arise in his heart.
What was Tong Ya's situation? What did she see? Was the Villain of the Blood Sea he saw real or not?
He knew himself best; he had no psychological shadow over the Villain of the Blood Sea, so he shouldn't have seen it wrong.
But if this happened a few more times, he might really develop a psychological shadow.
As Brandon Jiang was pondering, Senior Sister Sandra's voice suddenly rang out, "Brandon Jiang, come here."
Brandon Jiang snapped back to reality, quickly responded, and ran to Senior Sister Sandra's side.
At this moment, Senior Sister Sandra was standing in front of Tong Ya. Seeing Brandon Jiang approach, she said, "Although Tong Ya has lost her memory, seeing some familiar things might help her recall."
"Come over and let her recognize you. Maybe she will remember something."
"Yes."
Brandon Jiang didn't think much and walked directly to Tong Ya, bowing, "Junior Brandon Jiang greets..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Tong Ya's eyes suddenly widened, and her face changed dramatically!
She pointed a trembling finger at Brandon Jiang and screamed frantically, "You!!! It's you!!!"
