"Eat... eat... eat..."

Watching as Gao Zhijian stuttered for a long time without being able to eat anything, Li Huowang sighed in frustration.

He reached out and took the two books from the tall man in front of him. "Alright, you're dismissed. You can leave now."

After the dejected Gao Zhijian left, Li Huowang lowered his head and looked at the two books in his hands.

One of them was a regular paper book, while the other was wrapped in a translucent wax paper.

The book wrapped in wax paper was the Huoao True Scripture that Jiang Yingzi had given him, along with her translation.

The Huoao True Scripture was a good thing, despite the excruciating pain of the treatment process. In case of any future trauma on the road, this thing could save his life.

Such a good thing, it would be a waste not to learn how to use it.

However, Li Huowang was now close to illiteracy. He couldn't even understand the strange characters in the scripture, let alone the translation that Jiang Yingzi had written.

"This is not a solution. I can't be illiterate all my life. I have to learn how to read again."

With a hint of helplessness on his face, Li Huowang put the Huoao True Scripture into his arms.

It was easier said than done to systematically learn a whole set of characters from scratch. It would take several years, even if someone followed him and translated every character for him, which he didn't have time for.

To have the only literate person in the crowd, the idiot, teach him was even more depressing. Two sentences stuttered for ten minutes.

Li Huowang stubbornly reopened the translation. "Wood... mouth... person..."

He could only recognize the simplest characters now.

"Hehe, this is really returning everything my teacher taught me." Li Huowang mocked himself.

He thought that after Danyang Zi's death, his lost knowledge would come back, but it was not the case at all.

"Knock knock~" The wooden door suddenly knocked. "Is Li Xian Di there? I've brought the sword technique you wanted."

Hearing this, Li Huowang stood up and walked over to open the door.

Now that he had to put the Huoao True Scripture aside, he had been waiting here for so long just for this sword technique.

Soon, Zhao Qin's genealogy was in Li Huowang's hands.

Four big characters were written on it, but Li Huowang didn't recognize them.

"I saw that Li Xian Di's sword was a three-foot sword, so I specially chose this Duan Clan Sword Technique that matches it. It's just right for you to use."

"This sword technique was created by the genius Duan Si. It's different from other sword techniques. It's not soft or tricky, but absolutely open and close."

"Duan Clan Sword Technique?" Li Huowang murmured to himself. He opened the cover and saw that most of it was illustrations, with only a few scattered words. He breathed a sigh of relief."It's okay, just let Zhao the escort teach you and memorize it."

Li Huowang turned and looked at Zhao Qin. "Zhao the escort, I have never learned how to use a sword before. Can you give me some guidance and tell me where to start?"

"Hmm? You've never used a sword before? Not even the basics?" Zhao Qin looked at the two swords on Li Huowang's back and was confused.

But as someone who has been an escort, his mind naturally works quickly.

He immediately put his right hand on Li Huowang's shoulder and walked outside. "No problem, no problem. Since ancient times, the sword and the knife are not separate. Zhao is not talented, but I'll be your master for a few days, Li Xian didi."

As soon as they arrived at the martial arts arena, Li Huowang saw Xiaoman practicing swords with Gouwa in the distance and shouted at her, "Xiaoman, come here too!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qin nodded his head in approval and said, "Not bad, Li Xiandidi is considering it thoughtfully. It's better to practice swordsmanship with two people. Otherwise, you won't have anyone to practice with in the future."

Xiaoman, who was holding her long sword, was very excited, obviously knowing why Li Huowang called her over.

Soon, Li Huowang's sword practice life in the escort bureau began. With the experienced Zhao the escort leading and two dedicated students, Li Huowang and Xiaoman quickly made progress.

"Clang!" Sparks flew in the air as Li Huowang and Xiaoman each took three steps back.

Xiaoman raised her right hand holding the sword, stepped forward with her right foot, and charged forward again.

Li Huowang dodged to the side, and as soon as Xiaoman's wooden sword missed, he instantly turned to attack with a move called "Returning Wind and Falling Goose."

This series of actions instantly disrupted Xiaoman's rhythm. As the saying goes, one mistake leads to another. In no time, Xiaoman's sword was knocked out, causing cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Zhao Qin, who was standing by, walked over to Li Huowang with a look of surprise. "Li Xiandidi has good talent. In just fifteen days, he has become so skilled from being a complete beginner. He's truly a martial arts genius!"

This was not an exaggeration. As the chief escort, he had seen many talented individuals, but someone like Li Huowang was truly rare.

"You flatter me. I still have a long way to go," Li Huowang said modestly.

Only he knew why he was able to learn swordsmanship so much faster than Xiaoman.

Gazing at the basilisk, it not only increased his sense of pain, but also enhanced his other senses.

These enhanced senses allowed Li Huowang to achieve twice the results with half the effort. Whether there were any other downsides in the future was uncertain, but at least it was beneficial in this matter.

Handing the bamboo sword to Sun Baolu, Li Huowang said to Zhao Qin, "Zhao the escort, thank you for these past few days. I can't waste any more time. I should leave now and we'll see each other again in the future."

As the saying goes, the master leads the way, but the cultivation is up to the individual.

Since he had already started, Li Huowang didn't need to waste any more time here. Besides, Zhao Qin was only good at swordsmanship and couldn't teach him anything else.Another thing, Li Huowang mainly relies on his sword, not swordsmanship.

"Alright! Li Xiaodi, follow me. I'll get you what you need."

In Zhao Qin's study, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones were arranged neatly.

"Swish, swish, swish." Zhao Qin held a wolf hair brush and wrote vigorously. Then he blew dry the written paper and put it into an envelope.

"This is Zhao's guarantee letter. In the escort business, Zhao still has some face. Li Xiaodi can use this guarantee letter to pick up any escort orders in any escort agency in the future."

Li Huowang took the letter and clasped his fists to Zhao Qin. "Thank you for your guidance these past few days, Zhao Head of Escort."

After considering for so long, Li Huowang finally felt that being an escort was a good profession.

Gouwa was right. Since they had to travel anyway, why not kill two birds with one stone and earn money while on the road?

"Li Xiaodi is too polite. What's this? If Li Xiaodi can make my wife recognize me, then he is Liu's benefactor!"

"I won't ask where Xiaodi is going or what he's doing. If we have the chance to meet again in this town in the future, be sure to come and visit."
