A Willing Teacher and an Eager Student

Eastern Tang Dynasty, Qiao Estate

That day, before the chickens crowed and before dawn broke,

the door of the large residence where Yang Jian and the others lived began to thunder: "Bang, bang, bang~"

"Three teachers!"

"It's time to teach me martial arts! I'm back from Cui Mountain!"

A moment later, the gray wooden door creaked open, and Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing stepped out expressionlessly.

Yang Jian and the others had been "working over" Rulai's reincarnation for years, but he was still full of vitality...

He had even trained a body of toughened sinews and bones. Perhaps he could not split mountains and shatter rocks, but at the very least, he was impervious to blades and spears.

"How is this kid's life so tough?"

Nezha looked at Qiao Ling'er, who was dressed in rags and covered in dirt, and helplessly sent Yang Jian a voice transmission.

"I don't understand either~"

"There's a hundred-year-old striped tiger in Cui Mountain outside the estate. I even had Xiaotian arrange everything..."

"It only needed to break one of his legs. How did he come back hopping around like nothing happened?!"

Yang Jian rubbed his brow. Over the years, Qiao Ling'er had had stones smashed against his head, boulders broken against his chest, and had climbed mountains of blades and descended into seas of fire...

Just how many restrictions had Buddha Tathagata placed on himself? Was he really so afraid that someone would harm him?

Just then, Xiaotian Dog appeared from the darkness and scurried over to Yang Jian in a few bounds.

"Woof, woof~~"

Xiaotian Dog rubbed against Yang Jian's trouser leg and told him what had happened in Cui Mountain.
