Dorothy Lin fell heavily to the ground, her pretty face imdiately swelling and turning red.
But she didn't dare to make a sound, silently climbing back up and standing with her hands down.
The white-robed disciples present were as silent as cicadas in winter, none daring to plead for her.
Sandra Ye's icy voice rang out:
"Dorothy Lin, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
"You claim to be the legitimate daughter of the Lin Family, a cultivation family, but in my eyes, you're just a mortal who has barely beco a cultivator."
"Usually, I tolerate your arrogance and willfulness as long as you do your duties properly. I can turn a blind eye!"
"But now, you've beco so arrogant that you think I'm afraid of you, even daring to ambush my people in my own quarters!"
"If you want to die, just say the word, and I'll grant your wish!"
Dorothy Lin hurriedly knelt down, trembling with fear:
"Senior Sister, I didn't an to, it was a mont of impulse! Please, give another chance. I promise to behave and not cause any more trouble."
In her heart, she was cursing Brandon Jiang. That little girl was too ruthless, mixing truth with lies. She had lied about being nearly killed, turning a minor offense into a major cri, violating sect rules and thoroughly angering Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. Worse, the four people she had hired were all dead, leaving her unable to prove her innocence!
Seeing Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix's attitude, she knew she might be dood this ti!
Sandra Ye coldly said:
"I spared you yesterday because Brandon pleaded for you. Do you think you could have walked away unscathed otherwise?"
"And now, you repay kindness with enmity, attempting to hire assassins! Do you think a few light words can make forgive you today? Isn't that too naive?"
"Want to live? Fine, let's see if Brandon is willing to forgive you!"
With that, she looked at Brandon Jiang and gently said:
"Brandon, Dorothy Lin is in your hands now. You can deal with her however you want, even if you decide to kill her, I'll back you up."
The white-robed disciples gasped in shock.
Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was truly furious, even prepared to kill Dorothy Lin. If that happened, it would an offending the entire Lin Family, and even for Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, the pressure would be imnse.
Brandon Jiang didn't rush to answer but pondered carefully.
Killing Dorothy Lin directly? It sounded tempting, but the cost would be too high.
First, the Lin Family would see him as a mortal enemy and try to kill him by any ans. Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix could protect him for a while, but not forever.
Second, the Lin Family would surely trouble Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, and if the cost was too great, she might resent him.
Moreover, what benefit would he gain from killing Dorothy Lin? Aside from making enemies and leaving a huge hidden danger, there would be no gain at all. Why bother?
After careful consideration, Brandon Jiang quickly made up his mind.
Dorothy Lin couldn't be killed, but he could extort her for benefits openly!
He bowed slightly to Sandra Ye and asked:
"Senior Sister, may I speak with Senior Sister Lin for a mont?"
Sandra Ye replied indifferently:
"I said you can handle it as you see fit, as long as it doesn't delay today's talisman crafting."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Brandon expressed his gratitude and walked up to Dorothy Lin.
At this mont, Dorothy Lin no longer looked as dignified and imposing as when Brandon first saw her. She was now as disheveled as Brandon, like a fallen swan.
She glared at Brandon with beautiful eyes filled with resentnt and a hint of barely detectable fear.
After all, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix had given permission, and Brandon could kill her if he wanted to!
In the face of death, everyone is equal. How could Dorothy Lin not be afraid?
Gripped by imnse fear, Dorothy Lin clenched her fists and, with trembling lips, softened her tone:
"Junior Sister, you know our grudge hasn't reached the point of life and death. Can you..."
Before Dorothy Lin could finish, Brandon interrupted:
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the ]"
"Senior Sister Lin, I'm usually kind to others, but you've targeted repeatedly, even hiring people to kill . I can't just do nothing."
Hearing this, Dorothy Lin panicked even more. Was Brandon really going to ignore everything and kill her?
But then, Brandon's tone changed:
"However, we are fellow disciples. Going too far isn't good, and our grudge shouldn't be borne by Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix."
"How about this: if you're willing to compensate , we'll call it even. From now on, we won't interfere with each other, and we won't cause trouble for Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. How about it?"
"Okay... okay!"
Dorothy Lin quickly nodded and asked:
"What kind of compensation do you want, Junior Sister Jiang? As long as I have it, I can give it to you right away."
Brandon pondered for a mont and said:
"Daoist Arts. Your family has a rich heritage and must know many powerful Daoist Arts."
"If you're willing to teach a sufficiently valuable Qi Refining Daoist Art, I'll let bygones be bygones."
Dorothy Lin was slightly stunned.
Just that?
She felt amused. This country girl had such low standards. A few random Daoist Arts would be enough to satisfy her.
She only needed to take out so arts practiced by the family's servants, worth a few thousand mortals, and it would be enough to placate her.
But in the next mont, Dorothy Lin couldn't laugh anymore.
Brandon Jiang looked at Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix and sincerely asked:
"Senior Sister, you are knowledgeable. You must know which of the Lin Family's Qi Refining Daoist Arts would suit best. Please enlighten ."
Sandra Ye smiled slightly and said:
"The Lin Family's most famous and practical Daoist Art is undoubtedly the legendary 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest.'"
"This Daoist Art itself has no power, but it can be combined with any other Daoist Art. For example, when using the Fire Control Technique, activating 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest' simultaneously can increase the scale of the flas by dozens or even hundreds of tis, equivalent to using the Fire Control Technique dozens or hundreds of tis, while consuming far less Spiritual Power."
"Of course, Qi Refining cultivators can't use 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest,' but there is a simplified Qi Refining version called 'A Single Tree Becos a Pair,' which can double the scale of all Qi Refining Daoist Arts."
"Above that is the Foundation Establishnt level 'A Single Tree Becos a Grove,' which can increase the scale of Daoist Arts tenfold. The most complete version is the Golden Elixir level 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest.'"
"So, Brandon, you should know which Daoist Art to choose."
"A Single Tree Becos a Pair."
Brandon answered without hesitation.
After hearing Sandra Ye's introduction to the 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest' series of Daoist Arts, Brandon was amazed.
This Daoist Art was perfect for him!
His Daoist Arts were already far more powerful than others, and combined with 'A Single Tree Becos a Pair,' which could amplify all Daoist Arts' power, his strikes would beco unimaginably strong.
He looked at the grim-faced Dorothy Lin and smiled:
"Senior Sister Lin, I've made my choice."
"Not to ntion 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest' or 'A Single Tree Becos a Grove,' but you must know 'A Single Tree Becos a Pair.'"
Dorothy Lin's mouth twitched. The 'A Single Tree Becos a Forest' series of Daoist Arts was the foundation of the Lin Family's existence!
Even the most simplified version, 'A Single Tree Becos a Pair,' couldn't be easily leaked. If auctioned, its value would be imasurable!
But if she didn't give it, her fate would be sealed.
Brandon Jiang, this girl! Too cunning!
"Fine, I'll give it!"
Dorothy Lin gritted her teeth and reluctantly took out a jade slip from her storage bag, handing it to Brandon.
Brandon imdiately presented it to Sandra Ye, respectfully saying:
"Senior Sister, I don't know the authenticity of this Daoist Art. Please verify it for ."
Sandra Ye smiled and nodded, taking the jade slip to examine it.
Seeing this, Dorothy Lin's beautiful eyes almost shot fire.
What a cunning move by Brandon, using the Lin Family's treasure to curry favor with Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, this girl had mastered it!
