When Zhao Ling saw Zhu Zhuyun, who was about ten years old, and Zhu Zhuqing, who was two or three, his brow furrowed slightly. He put on a profound and mysterious facade, and spoke sternly to the Darknether Civet family patriarch.
"Patriarch Zhu, I advise you not to marry your two daughters into the imperial family. Their destinies are not that of empresses, but rather destinies to become deities. If you trust me, let them become my disciples. I can allow them to ascend to godhood within a few decades..."
Neither of his two daughters destined to be empresses? But to ascend to godhood???Gods, what kind of existence were they? That was the ultimate goal that all Titled Douluo throughout the Douluo Continent tirelessly pursued.This, this old man actually said his two daughters could ascend to godhood???This, this old man isn't trying to trick him, is he??? The Hell Civet family patriarch found Zhao Ling's words unbelievable. However, the uncanny abilities he displayed far exceeded his understanding of Titled Douluo. He could almost certainly conclude that this person was perhaps the legendary omnipotent deity. Only a deity could summon wind and rain with a flick of a hand, or turn beans into soldiers.
Zhao Ling saw the disbelief on the Hell Civet family patriarch's face and revealed a mysterious smile. "What, you don't believe me? Is it hard for me to make your two daughters become gods of this world? It's not that I'm bragging, but at my current realm, you mortals cannot comprehend it."
Then, Zhao Ling performed another flashy display in front of the Hell Civet family patriarch, astounding everyone in the Hell Civet family. Zhao Ling was quite pleased with their reactions, and he successfully took Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing as his disciples. He also instructed the Hell Civet family patriarch to personally go to the imperial family and dissolve the engagement between the two sisters and the imperial princes.
For this, the Star Luo Empire's emperor was furious. Of course, to avoid breaking ties with the Hell Civet family, he didn't vent his anger on the Hell Civet family patriarch. Instead, he personally came to meet Zhao Ling. He wanted to personally expose Zhao Ling's charlatan scheme and make this charlatan pay. However, with his Titled Douluo strength, he was like an ant in front of Zhao Ling, completely outmatched and left with no temper after being played with.
In the end, the Star Luo Empire's emperor dejectedly returned to the imperial palace and officially announced the dissolution of Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's engagements with the two princes. And so, the brothers Davis and Dai Mubai were inexplicably disengaged. Dai Mubai was only six or seven years old at the time and didn't understand what being disengaged meant, so he didn't take it to heart much. Davis, however, was already in his teens and had a grasp of many things. He was unwilling to lose his beautiful, doll-like fiancée just like that. So he went to question his father, and the Star Luo Empire's emperor could only tell him to forget about it in the future. It was something about him not being worthy of Zhu Zhuyun, which left Davis very confused. He, the dignified first prince of the Star Luo Empire, was suddenly not worthy of his fiancée? But since his father had already made the decision, what could he do? He could only feel so frustrated he wanted to spit blood.
Just like that, Zhao Ling officially took the two sisters as disciples. Originally, Zhao Ling quite enjoyed teaching them cultivation after taking them as disciples. However, he wasn't sure if it was because these two little disciples were unconsciously affected by the Lady Killer Lv. 6 effect or something. Zhao Ling noticed that these two sisters would often secretly sneak glances at him.
Initially, Zhao Ling didn't pay much attention to this, after all, he had transformed into an old man with an otherworldly demeanor and white hair. What normal little girl would like an old man with white hair? But one night, as Zhao Ling was sleeping soundly, he found a small hand gently caressing his face. When he groggily woke up, he saw Zhu Zhuyun standing by his bed, her soft hands not yet withdrawn. This alone would have been fine, but Zhu Zhuqing, that little girl, was also "watching intently" from the side, which made Zhao Ling realize something was wrong.
He had completely underestimated the terrifying effect of his Lady Killer Lv. 6. Even though he had transformed into this otherworldly, white-haired appearance, these two girls couldn't resist him. So Zhao Ling began to avoid these two girls. Although he had strange thoughts about these two girls after they grew up, it was definitely not now. He swore to heaven that he wasn't that deranged.
However, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing would constantly look for him every day, calling out "Master" as they searched for his whereabouts throughout Star Dou Imperial City. Finally, Zhao Ling had no choice but to write a letter. Then he changed into a new appearance and went to the Hell Civet family again, delivering the letter into Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's hands. Before Zhu Zhuyun could even open the letter, Zhao Ling hastily turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuyun, a playful smile playing on her lips, said to Zhao Ling, "Master, you changed your appearance just to deliver a letter to Yun'er? And after delivering it, you're in such a hurry to leave. Are you planning to abandon Qing'er and me after leading us on?"
Zhao Ling was a bit bewildered. His transformed appearance was actually seen through by Zhu Zhuyun at first glance. What in the world was going on? And what did "abandoning us after leading us on" even mean? I took you as disciples; I didn't do anything strange. You, please don't wrongly accuse me! Zhao Ling thought this, but on his face, he displayed a bewildered expression, saying to Zhu Zhuyun, "Miss Zhuyun, I don't understand what you mean by that. I, I am just me. I'm not someone else transformed. I..."
The more Zhao Ling explained, the more mischievous Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes became. A cold smile appeared on her face, and she languidly said, "Master, no matter how you change, there's a unique aura about you that attracts Yun'er. You can't hide this aura no matter what. Alright, since you're unwilling to admit it, Yun'er won't force you. However, where should Yun'er and Qing'er go to find you in the future?"
Zhao Ling didn't dare to reply again and fled the Hell Civet family in a pathetic state. He had to stay as far away from these two sisters as possible, at least before they grew up; he couldn't appear before them. But he never expected that Zhu Zhuyun would actually come running to Blue Tyrant Academy and even recognize his identity. It was truly a headache...
Zhao Ling gradually sobered up from his memories and awkwardly said to Zhu Zhuyun, "Zhuyun, I'm sorry. I didn't want to leave like that back then. It's just that I felt if I kept staying by your sisters' side, I would make a mistake."
"Hmph, Master, you're afraid of making mistakes? I heard you found many other sisters for Qing'er and me... Hehe, you're truly capable. You never abandoned your other wives, but you abandoned Qing'er and me after leading us on." Zhu Zhuyun's sarcastic remarks made the teacher nearby look at Zhao Ling with strange eyes, and even many students cast curious glances at him.
"Don't talk nonsense about 'abandoning us after leading us on'! You, girl, I already said I was forced to leave at the time..." Zhao Ling felt his face burning. Zhu Zhuyun's words left him completely at a loss for how to explain...
