**Chapter 298: Are You Anxious?**
"What? Master, you have the nerve to do it, so why can't others say it?"
Zhu Zhuyun's voice rose by more than ten decibels, rather than lowering it.
"He even turned into a white-haired old man, exuding an aura of immortality, to flirt with Qing'er and me."
"When he realized things were going south, he turned and ran away like a coward.
Master, you are really amazing... Now, in front of so many students, you still won't admit it?"
Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes sparkled with teasing, making Zhao Ling feel as if he were under her control.
"No, no, Yun'er, I really don't have any weird intentions.
I just saw that you and your sister are incredibly talented and have the potential to become gods. I only wanted to help you."
Zhao Ling felt embarrassed, but with so many students watching, he couldn't bring himself to admit he was a coward.
"Really? So, Master only saw my sister and me as talented?"
Zhu Zhuyun's gaze sharpened, and a sneer appeared on her lips as she observed Zhao Ling, who looked so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.
"If that's the case... Master, why do you want me to cancel my engagement with the eldest prince? And why do you want Qing'er to break off her engagement with the third prince?"
Zhu Zhuyun's voice dripped with mockery as Zhao Ling's face flushed with discomfort.
"Can gods not marry before they become gods? Humph, I don't believe that.
There shouldn't be such a rule in this world, right? Master, can you explain it to me?"
Her laughter, clear and pleasant, rang out as she mocked him, making Zhao Ling even more embarrassed.
Unable to hold it in anymore, Zhao Ling muttered to himself, 'What is going on with this Zhu Zhuyun?'
'No matter what, I'm still their master, right? Yet this girl dares to talk to me like this in front of everyone, asking me to explain?'
He had to explain; he couldn't possibly admit in front of all these female students that he coveted these sisters, right?
Zhao Ling's expression became serious as he grabbed Zhu Zhuyun's soft hand and tore open the space, disappearing with her from the martial arts field.
This scene shocked all the female teachers and students present.
"Wow… what kind of ability is this? How can he disappear like that, taking someone with him in public?
Most Titled Douluo probably can't do this, right?"
Zhao Ling took Zhu Zhuyun back to his residence and sat on the stone steps in the courtyard.
Raising his hand, he slapped Zhu Zhuyun on the butt several times, his voice full of anger.
"Explain? What does your master need to explain to you? I told you I would make you sisters become gods in the future, and I will do it.
Even if the Douluo God Realm is too small to accommodate you, your master will open up a new God Realm for you. What more do you want? You've embarrassed me enough. Let's see how I deal with you."
Zhu Zhuyun didn't show any dissatisfaction after being slapped. Instead, she giggled behind her hand, making Zhao Ling even more furious, though he couldn't bring himself to slap her again.
"You're still laughing? Is there any disciple like you? If I didn't have a good attitude, I'd have been pissed off by you already."
Zhao Ling glared at Zhu Zhuyun angrily, then let her go and turned his head away, sulking.
"Ha..." Zhu Zhuyun suddenly burst into laughter, walking over to Zhao Ling. She gently stroked his cheek, her tone softer than ever.
"Master, I never imagined the famous Demon Suppression Douluo of the entire Douluo Continent was actually you.
This must be your true form, right? You're really quite handsome."
Her eyes were filled with affection, but there was also a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Why didn't you tell Yun'er sooner? If it weren't for when you arrived at Lanba Academy a few days ago...
I saw you in the crowd and felt drawn to you because of your special aura, but I couldn't recognize you at the time."
Her beautiful eyes were now brimming with tenderness and longing.
"Do you know how much time we sisters spent searching for you over the past three years? You were so kind, yet you left a letter and disappeared without leaving us anything to remember you by.
Now, when Yun'er returned to Lanba Academy, I wrote a letter to tell my sister your true identity. After I graduate from the Junior Soul Master Academy, I will definitely come to the Tiandou Empire to find you."
"Yun... Yun'er, this..." Zhao Ling stuttered, but Zhu Zhuyun covered his mouth with her hand and glared at him.
"Don't you dare say anything. If you do, Yun'er will go back to Lanba Academy and tell the whole school how you abandoned us."
Zhao Ling felt defeated. 'Damn it... I can't explain myself to this girl. I guess it's my fault, anyway.'
'Forget it. She's at my door now. Can I still send her back to Xingluo Empire?'
"Well... Okay, Yun'er, I won't say anything more.
But, little girl, could you please take your hands off Master's face? What's with all the touching?"
Zhao Ling suddenly grew serious, hoping to maintain a professional master-disciple relationship to prevent himself from giving in to temptation.
"No, Yun'er touching Master's face has nothing to do with you, pervert."
Zhu Zhuyun maintained a righteous expression but then playfully slapped his face again.
Zhao Ling stood up in anger, his 1.92-meter frame towering over the 13- or 14-year-old Zhu Zhuyun.
"If Master doesn't show his power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
Zhao Ling said sternly, trying to maintain balance in their master-disciple relationship. "We are now in a master-disciple relationship. You are not allowed to touch me. Understand?"
"Hmph! What do you plan to do, Yun'er? Come on, if you have the guts. Don't let Yun'er look down on you."
Zhu Zhuyun puffed out her cheeks, hands on her hips, looking every bit the willful young lady.
The noise soon attracted dozens of curious servants from the mansion.
"Wow... The master really is something. He has so many beauties at home, and now a cute little thing like her has fallen for him?"
The servants quickly gave their master an enthusiastic 666.
Zhao Ling shot them a glare, clearly displeased.
"What are you looking at? Are you all too idle to do anything?
Don't you want next month's bonus? Don't you want your salary? Go to work!!!"
The servants quickly fled, not daring to stay longer.
Zhu Zhuyun laughed in glee.
"I'm anxious, I'm anxious. Master, are you really going crazy this time?"
