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 soone, 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 around Purple Lotus Peak just now, but when we got here, her voice beca 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 , saying all sorts of frightening things."
"I was so scared that I instinctively punched him and then imdiately 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 sothing happen here just now? I was cleaning this purple jade stone the whole ti, and when I ca 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 rember 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 exclaid, "That's right, where is Senior Sister Yan? How did she suddenly disappear?!"
Hearing this, everyone realized sothing was wrong.
Tong Ya's mory had a gap, and it was precisely the mory of Yan Baobao's death!
But how did she lose her mory? 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 beca even more bizarre.
At this mont, Sandra Ye looked back at Brandon, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness. "Tong Ya has lost her mory, 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 mory 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 sothing from , afraid to speak!"
A terrifying pressure bore down on Brandon, making it seem like he would die the next mont.
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 ti, he ca 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, stamring through his sobs, "Please, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, believe . 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 . 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?"
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 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 co back for , but before that day ca, I was captured by an evil cultivator. It was a fairy from the Heavenly Lotus Sect who saved ."
"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 recomnded to Purple Lotus Peak to beco your disciple."
"Just a few hours ago, we sisters finally reunited. Senior Sister Yan told she had looked for , but our hotown had been destroyed by that demon, and she thought I was dead. She promised to take good care of 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 rember 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 lt it, catching fish to make soup for ."
"I've always rembered 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 beco another favorite of Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix.
Thinking of this, a white-robed disciple imdiately 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 chid 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 newcor.
What she overlooked was that benefits are the best way to foster relationships.
