**Chapter 297: Abandoned after Seduction?**

When Zhao Ling saw Zhu Zhuyun, who was about ten years old, and Zhu Zhuqing, who was two or three, he frowned slightly. He looked like a mysterious charlatan and spoke seriously to the patriarch of the Zhu family.

"Patriarch Zhu, I suggest that you don't marry your two daughters to the royal family. Their fates are not to be phoenixes, but to become gods. If you trust me, let them worship me as their master. I can make them ascend to become gods within a few decades."

Neither of the two daughters had the fate of a phoenix? Instead, they were destined to become gods? A god—what kind of existence was that? It was the ultimate goal that all the Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent were tirelessly pursuing.

This... this old man actually claimed that both of his daughters could ascend to become gods??? Was he bluffing? The patriarch of Zhu family found it hard to believe. However, the evil energy emanating from Zhao Ling surpassed anything the patriarch had ever understood about Titled Douluo.

He could almost conclude that the man might be the omnipotent god of legend. Only a god could command the winds, make it rain, or turn beans into soldiers with a wave of the hand.

When Zhao Ling saw the look of disbelief on the patriarch's face, a mysterious smile spread across his own.

"Why, you don't believe it? Is it difficult for me to make your daughters gods of this world? I'm not bragging. With my current level, you mortals can't comprehend it."

Zhao Ling then demonstrated a few incredible feats in front of the patriarch, stunning the entire Zhu family. Seeing their expressions, Zhao Ling felt a surge of pride. He then successfully accepted Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing as his disciples and asked the patriarch to personally go to the royal family to cancel the engagement between the two sisters and the royal children.

The emperor of the Xingluo Empire was furious. However, to avoid severing ties with the Zhu family, he did not lash out at the patriarch. Instead, he decided to meet Zhao Ling personally, hoping to expose him as a fraud and make him pay for his deception.

But with his Titled Douluo strength, the emperor was no match for Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling toyed with him effortlessly, causing the emperor to return to the palace in disgrace. Soon after, the emperor officially announced the cancellation of the engagement between Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and the two princes.

Davis and Dai Mubai, the two royal brothers, had their engagements broken without warning. At that time, Dai Mubai was only six or seven and didn't understand the significance of the engagement being broken off, so he didn't take it seriously.

Davis, however, was already a teenager and understood the situation. He didn't want to lose his beautiful fiancée, who resembled a porcelain doll. Confused, he went to question his father, who could only tell him to forget about it.

Davis was left feeling unworthy of Zhu Zhuyun. He was the eldest prince of the Xingluo Empire—how could he not be worthy of his fiancée? But his father had made the decision, and there was nothing he could do. He felt so depressed he could barely breathe.

And so, Zhao Ling officially accepted the two sisters as his disciples.

At first, Zhao Ling enjoyed teaching them and guiding them in their training. However, he soon noticed that, for some reason, these two little disciples would often glance at him with strange looks.

Zhao Ling initially dismissed the matter, thinking that, as an elderly man with white hair and a fairy-like appearance, what young girl could possibly be attracted to him?

But one night, while he was sleeping, he felt a small hand gently caressing his face. He woke up in a daze and saw Zhu Zhuyun standing beside the couch, her hand still resting on his face. What startled him even more was that Zhu Zhuqing was standing nearby with an angry expression, which made Zhao Ling realize something was wrong.

He had completely underestimated the terrifying influence of his "female killer" level-6 ability. Even in his elderly, immortal form with white hair, these girls couldn't resist him.

Zhao Ling began to avoid them, though he couldn't deny that as they grew older, he might develop strange feelings for them. But not now. He swore to himself that he wasn't that cruel.

Yet, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing continued to search for him every day, calling him "Master" and looking for him all over Xing Dou Imperial City.

Eventually, Zhao Ling had no choice but to write a letter, change his appearance, and go to the Zhu family to deliver the letter to the two girls.

Before Zhu Zhuyun opened the letter, Zhao Ling turned to leave in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuyun called out with a playful smile, "Master, did you change your appearance just to deliver a letter to Yun'er? And then leave so quickly? Are you planning to abandon Qing'er and me?"

Zhao Ling was confused. How had Zhu Zhuyun seen through his disguise? What did she mean by "abandoning after seduction"?

"I accepted you as my disciples," he thought to himself, "and I didn't do anything strange. Please don't misinterpret my actions!"

Zhao Ling's face showed confusion as he said, "Ms. Zhuyun, I don't understand what you just said. I am who I am. I'm not transformed into anyone else. I…"

The more Zhao Ling tried to explain, the more teasing appeared in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes. She sneered lazily, "Master, no matter how you change, you have a unique aura that attracts Yun'er. You can't hide it."

"Well, since you don't want to admit it, Yun'er won't force you. But where will Yun'er and Qing'er find you in the future?"

Zhao Ling didn't know how to respond. He fled from Zhu family in panic, determined to keep his distance from the two sisters until they were older.

But he never expected Zhu Zhuyun would show up at Lanba Academy and recognize him. This was truly troublesome...

Zhao Ling snapped out of his memories and awkwardly apologized to Zhu Zhuyun, "Zhuyun, I'm sorry. I didn't want to leave then. I just thought that staying with you two would lead to a mistake."

"Tsk, Master, are you still worried about making mistakes?" Zhu Zhuyun teased. "I heard you found many mistresses for Qing'er and me. Haha, you really are something. You stick with your other female confidantes but abandon me and Qing'er after having an affair with them."

Zhao Ling could only feel embarrassed. Zhu Zhuyun was being impossible, and he didn't know how to explain himself.
