**Chapter 299: I'm Really Sorry**

"Stop talking nonsense, girl. What do you want?" Zhao Ling frowned, his expression serious as he delivered what he thought was the most severe threat to Zhu Zhuyun. "Master has already apologized to you, yet you still act as though you are in the right. Do you really believe I won't expel you from the sect?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun covered her mouth and laughed, her voice like the tinkling of a silver bell.

"Master, are you speaking your mind now?" she teased. "Are you looking for an excuse to expel Yun'er and Qing'er from the sect? When we grow up, you can marry us sisters legitimately. Master, you're really calculating."

"Uh..." Zhao Ling was at a loss for words this time.

She was just a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, but she could see through him so clearly. It was truly uncanny.

Seeing Zhao Ling's flustered look, Zhu Zhuyun quickly wiped away her smile and adopted a more serious tone.

"Master, we are still young. If you want to maintain a master-disciple relationship with us, Yun'er has no objections. But when Qing'er and I grow up, you can't make excuses to shirk your responsibility. Otherwise, Yun'er's revenge will be quite formidable."

"..." Zhao Ling was stunned, never having imagined that he would be threatened by this bold girl.

It was hard for him to even fathom what methods this girl could use to take revenge on him. With his current strength, he wouldn't even be bothered by a God King-level existence in the Douluo God Realm. How could this girl claim she would take revenge?

Zhu Zhuyun seemed to sense his doubts and chuckled again.

"Master, I know you're jealous of Qing'er and me. With your character, you would never allow us sisters to become playthings for other men, right?"

This girl's threat was cruel, Zhao Ling thought. With this tactic, she had put him in a position where he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Yun'er, you should return to Lanba Academy now. Brother Ling won't send you off. Brother Ling knows what's going to happen in the future..."

"Now that's more like it."

Seeing that Zhao Ling no longer acted like a strict master, Zhu Zhuyun beamed with satisfaction and waved at him.

"In that case, Yun'er will leave first. Goodbye, Brother Ling. Remember to visit Yun'er when you come to the academy next time."

With that, she skipped toward the door. Zhao Ling quickly called out to her, stopping her in her tracks.

"Wait, Yun'er... Brother Ling has something for you..."

"What's the matter, Brother Ling? Are you reluctant to let Yun'er go?" Zhu Zhuyun turned with a playful smile.

Zhao Ling retrieved a weakened version of the Eight Immortals Pill from his storage space. Whether or not this girl would become his bedmate in the future was uncertain. But as her master, it was only right that he wasn't stingy.

"When you return to the dormitory, absorb the medicinal power carefully, and it will increase your strength."

Zhu Zhuyun glanced at the pill curiously, then pocketed it, sweetly replying, "Thank you, Brother Ling..."

With that, she opened the door and swiftly disappeared into the crowd.

Zhao Ling sighed in distress, wondering what sin he had committed to offend this unruly girl.

Oh, forget it. Who told him to covet this sisters? he deserve this trouble.

A few days later, far away in Xingluo Imperial City, within the Zhu Family...

A five-year-old girl noticed a pigeon returning from outside and happily ran towards the pigeon cage.

When the servant took the note from the pigeon and saw the six words "From my sister Zhuqing" written on it, he knew it was a letter from the eldest daughter to the second.

The servant rushed to the Second Young Lady's villa but met Zhu Zhuqing, who was out of breath and hurrying down the corridor.

Quickly handing the letter to the young girl, the servant said, "Second Miss, this is a letter from the eldest miss."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and took the letter, but at five years old she couldn't recognize many of the words. In her excitement, she rushed to her mother's room.

"Mother, mother, help me read the letter… It must be very important news from my elder sister in Tiandou Imperial City."

Zhu Zhuqing's mother looked at the letter and then gently rubbed her daughter's head before opening it. Her pupils shrank as she read.

"What? That white-haired old charlatan who broke into our Zhu family three years ago, claiming he wanted to tell fortunes for our daughters—he's actually the famous Demon Suppressing Douluo?" She couldn't believe it.

The old man was nearly a hundred years old, or even several hundred years old, a far cry from the young, handsome Demon Suppressing Douluo.

But now her eldest daughter claimed this was the same man?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the most handsome man on the Douluo Continent, the legendary Demon Suppressing Douluo, be that white-haired old man?

She found it hard to accept, but she finally told Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's watery eyes widened.

"What? Master is the Demon Suppressing Douluo? Mother, we have a portrait of the Demon Suppressing Douluo at home, right? I want to see it!"

Her mother nodded and quickly ran to her husband's study to retrieve the portrait of the Demon Suppressing Douluo.

The portrait of Zhao Ling was spread out on the long table, and Zhu Zhuqing was carried over to it. Upon seeing the handsome man in the portrait, her eyes lit up.

"Wow, my elder sister once said that Master might be skilled in transformation, that the appearances we've seen so far weren't his real face. I didn't believe it, but now... Master is so much more handsome than Father!"

"Yes… that's right," Zhu Zhuqing's mother agreed with a strange look in her eyes.

"Though your father is handsome, he seems shabby compared to this Demon Suppressing Douluo."

"Uh-huh..." Zhu Zhuqing nodded eagerly, reaching out to touch the handsome face in the portrait.

At that moment, the patriarch of the Zhu Family, who had been standing behind them, scowled darkly.

"Are you two implying that I am ugly?"
