Chapter 48 – Extort Dorothy Lin!



Chapter 48 – Extort Dorothy Lin!

Dorothy Lin fell heavily to the ground, her pretty face immediately 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 become 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 become 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 mean to, it was a moment of impulse! Please, give me 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 crime, 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 doomed this time!

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 me 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 mean offending the entire Lin Family, and even for Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, the pressure would be immense.

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 means. 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!

But in the next moment, 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 me best. Please enlighten me."

Sandra Ye smiled slightly and said:

"The Lin Family's most famous and practical Daoist Art is undoubtedly the legendary 'A Single Tree Becomes 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 Becomes a Forest' simultaneously can increase the scale of the flames by dozens or even hundreds of times, equivalent to using the Fire Control Technique dozens or hundreds of times, while consuming far less Spiritual Power."

"Of course, Qi Refining cultivators can't use 'A Single Tree Becomes a Forest,' but there is a simplified Qi Refining version called 'A Single Tree Becomes a Pair,' which can double the scale of all Qi Refining Daoist Arts."

"Above that is the Foundation Establishment level 'A Single Tree Becomes a Grove,' which can increase the scale of Daoist Arts tenfold. The most complete version is the Golden Elixir level 'A Single Tree Becomes a Forest.'"

"So, Brandon, you should know which Daoist Art to choose."

"A Single Tree Becomes a Pair."

Brandon answered without hesitation.

After hearing Sandra Ye's introduction to the 'A Single Tree Becomes 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 Becomes a Pair,' which could amplify all Daoist Arts' power, his strikes would become unimaginably strong.

He looked at the grim-faced Dorothy Lin and smiled:

"Senior Sister Lin, I've made my choice."

"Not to mention 'A Single Tree Becomes a Forest' or 'A Single Tree Becomes a Grove,' but you must know 'A Single Tree Becomes a Pair.'"

Dorothy Lin's mouth twitched. The 'A Single Tree Becomes a Forest' series of Daoist Arts was the foundation of the Lin Family's existence!

Even the most simplified version, 'A Single Tree Becomes a Pair,' couldn't be easily leaked. If auctioned, its value would be immeasurable!

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 immediately presented it to Sandra Ye, respectfully saying:

"Senior Sister, I don't know the authenticity of this Daoist Art. Please verify it for me."

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!
