Who Exactly Is the Teacher Here?

Jiang Lan picked some rare and precious herbs and then left with Dugu Bo.

Eat it directly?

That would be such a waste; it would be better to wait for him to go back and refine the Pill.

This Martial Arts Guga has more than just basic knowledge of Pill.

A few days later, Jiang Lan and Dugu Bo returned to the Dugu Family.

We're back!

As soon as he got home, Jiang Lan shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the noise, Dugu Yan rushed out, followed by Ye Lingling.

"Little Guga, Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan ran with her arms outstretched.

Dugu Bo thought Dugu Yan was going to hug him, so he happily opened his arms.

The next second, Dugu Bo froze.

Because the people Dugu Yan was holding were Jiang Lan and Doro.

Dugu Bo's arms froze in mid-air, and the relieved smile on his face was frozen in place.

He watched as his granddaughter swept past him like a gust of wind, squatted down in front of Jiang Lan, and simultaneously hugged the little one in the Penguin Suit and the white ball of fur into his arms.

He kept saying things like, "I miss my sister so much," "Let my sister see if I've lost weight," and "You've become so handsome," completely ignoring his grandfather.

"Doro! You've gotten so round!" Dugu Yan cupped Doro's face in her hands and rubbed the downy fur on its cheeks with her thumb.

Doro squinted as she was being rubbed, letting out a comfortable "doro~", and even nuzzled her head into her palm.

Then Dugu Yan touched Jiang Lan from head to toe, pinched his face, tugged at his crooked penguin hat, and even bent up his orange webbed feet to check if they were chafed.

Jiang Lan was being squeezed so much she was practically falling over, a beaded tassel from Dugu Yan's hair stuck to the hood of her Penguin Suit. She mumbled a protest, "Sister Yanyan, I just got back, stop pinching Little Guga..."

Dugu Bo withdrew his arms, silently put them behind his back, and looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast, just like his current mood.

Ye Lingling stood under the corridor, still dressed in black, her face covered by a black veil, revealing a pair of clear, green eyes.

She didn't pounce on him like Dugu Yan did; instead, she clasped her hands together in front of her and quietly smiled slightly.

But when Dugu Yan pulled her in front of Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan looked up at her face covered by a black veil, tilted her head, took out two Ju Zi from the pocket of her Penguin Suit, and stuffed them into her hand. "Sister Lingling, these are for you. Sister Yanyan has some too."

Ye Lingling accepted the thank you note, "Thank you."

Jiang Lan waved her hand. "It's nothing."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, watching the heartwarming scene of the long-awaited reunion in the courtyard. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved slightly, then quickly straightened out.

He cleared his throat, his voice not loud, but the pressure of Titled Douluo silenced everyone present instantly.

"Come inside and talk. Jiang Lan brought back a lot of good things. We've found a way to cure your poison." Dugu Bo paused, then added, "Also, Yanyan, didn't you see Grandpa just now?"

Dugu Yan lifted her head from Jiang Lan's arms, blinked, and gave a guilty smile, "Grandpa, of course I saw you! I just... hadn't had a chance yet!"

She stood up, ran to Dugu Bo's side, took his arm, and nuzzled her head against his shoulder. "Grandpa, you've worked so hard! Grandpa is the best!"

Dugu Bo snorted, finally unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

Jiang Lan then spoke up, "Masters, come with me. I have something to teach you."

Curious upon hearing this, Dugu Bo and the other two followed Jiang Lan into the study.

Upon entering the study, Jiang Lan said to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, "Sister Yanyan, Teacher, I'm going to teach you some Poison Arts."

Intrigued, Dugu Yan asked, "What kind of Poison Arts?"

Dugu Bo explained, "It's an extremely powerful Soul Skill."

Jiang Lan looked at Ye Lingling and said, "Sister Lingling, I'll teach you some self-defense techniques."

Ye Lingling nodded, feeling very curious about what Jiang Lan would teach.

Over the next two months, the atmosphere in the Dugu Manor underwent a subtle change.

Previously, it was Dugu Bo who taught Jiang Lan to recognize medicinal herbs and explain the rules of the Soul Master World; now, it's completely reversed.

Every morning, Jiang Lan would stand on a chair in the study to reach the table, holding a small wooden stick in her hand, pointing to the crooked meridian chart pasted on the wall, explaining the methods of circulating qi in the Poison Arts technique to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the futon, holding the book "The Five Poisons Secret Manual" in his hand, listening and taking notes as seriously as a primary school student.

Dugu Yan sat next to him, with "Poison Arts Beginner's Guide" spread out in front of her, raising her hand to ask questions from time to time.

Jiang Lan then used a small wooden stick to tap the corresponding acupoints on the meridian chart, instructing her to circulate her Soul Power according to the diagram.

"Master, your luck is off by three centimeters here. The poison will stagnate in your Quchi acupoint, and your arm will go numb if left untreated." Jiang Lan stood on tiptoe and poked Dugu Bo's elbow with a small wooden stick.

His chubby little face was tense, making him look even more serious than a real teacher.

Dugu Bo subconsciously adjusted his energy flow path, and sure enough, he felt the cold, poisonous gas flow much more smoothly.

He nodded in satisfaction, about to offer a word of praise, but the words caught in his throat.

No, that's not right. He's Titled Douluo, and this kid is his disciple. How can a disciple teach his master?

"Reversing the Heavenly Dipper." Dugu Bo muttered, but he still obediently continued to cultivate according to Jiang Lan's method.

Forget it, the skills he learned are real. Who cares who taught him? Anyway, this kid is my apprentice. He taught his master skills that are still his apprentice's skills, so there's nothing shameful about it.

Dugu Yan's progress was even faster than Dugu Bo's. The poison in her body was brought from her mother's womb and was of the same origin as her Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, making it twice as effective for her to cultivate Poison Arts.

In just two months, she not only refined most of the stubborn toxins in her body, but also mastered the first Poison Arts in the "Five Poisons Secret Manual". The toxicity of her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was increased by a whole level.

She can now easily poke a small hole emitting green smoke in a tree trunk with a flick of her finger; its corrosive power is more than three times stronger than the original venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Jiang Lan taught Ye Lingling martial arts in the morning and Lightness Skill skills in the afternoon, resulting in Ye Lingling Ye Lingling's rapid improvement in strength.

In just two months, Ye Lingling underwent a complete transformation.

She was originally a pure healing-type Soul Master with no offensive capabilities, and could only rely on her teammates for protection on the battlefield.

But now, she can not only save people, she can also kill them.

Jiang Lan taught her a palm technique called "Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm," which combines sword and palm techniques, is light and agile, and is perfectly suited to her physique.

Ye Lingling studied extremely diligently, getting up before dawn every day to practice, starting with the most basic standing posture, then progressing to footwork, palm techniques, and sword finger techniques, practicing each move no less than a thousand times.

In the courtyard of the Dugu Manor, there are several old locust trees, one of which has a trunk covered with tiny holes poked out by her when she practiced her sword finger technique.

When Dugu Bo passed by and saw this, his heart ached and his lips twitched. But when he thought that these trees were nothing compared to Ye Lingling's progress, he silently swallowed his words.
