As expected, Ford was not happy. “What do you mean, Little Girl?” virtual-novel.net asked with furrowed brows.
Jewel smiled and said, “Mister Ford, it is simple. If you want any food in the future, you would have to bring something in exchange for it.”
Ford sighed. “I have never liked taking advantage of other people I have nothing else with me other than this broken sword.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Ford took out his sword and set it on the ground.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard, and there were cracks on the ground. The sword was planted firmly into the ground.
Ford smiled. “This is the Great Steel Sword. It weighs 388 pounds. If you could retrieve the sword, then I would give it to you.”
At that moment, Jewel smiled and said, “I didn’t say that I wanted your sword, Mister. Perhaps you can teach my master some sword techniques? Your techniques are the best in the world. If you could teach them to my master, who knows, maybe virtual-novel.net can use it to lead the three of us out of this valley.”
Darryl sighed as virtual-novel.net looked at Jewel. Her action touched him; virtual-novel.net always thought about him.
Jewel was right; if virtual-novel.net were to learn the old man’s sword techniques, virtual-novel.net could pierce the sword onto the cliffs’ wall to climb up. Maybe they could get out of the valley that way.
Ford’s face darkened as virtual-novel.net rose slowly. Then virtual-novel.net smiled coldly. “This guy wants to learn my sword technique? Dream on. My Celestial Swordsmanship includes all the key sword techniques from all over the world. It is not for virtual-novel.net to learn!”
Jewel sighed when virtual-novel.net heard that, and Darryl smiled bitterly.
“Master, it looks like there is no chance for you to learn from him. Well then, let’s enjoy our roast chicken. As for you, Mister Ford, you won’t be able to try this roast chicken.” Jewel’s face soured as virtual-novel.net handed the chicken drumstick to Darryl.
“You—” Ford gulped; virtual-novel.net could not stop licking his lips.
Jewel cooked the best roast chicken. No ordinary person would be able to stand such a delicious temptation, let alone a man who had been trapped for more than ten years.
Ford looked at Darryl who enjoyed the super delicious chicken drumstick; virtual-novel.net could not stand it anymore. He snatched the chicken drumstick from Darryl and shouted, “Fine, fine. I will teach you a technique.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net devoured the chicken drumstick. Then virtual-novel.net said to Darryl, “Just one technique, and nothing more.”
Daryl wanted to laugh.
It seemed like the old man could not resist the temptation of a chicken drumstick.
At that moment, Darryl was beyond excited, and virtual-novel.net was thankful too. He replied quickly, “Thank you, Mister.”
Jewel was delighted as well She gave Ford the remaining roast chicken and said, “You must keep your promise, Mister. Don’t forget it.”
Even though Ford had only agreed to teach only one technique, Jewel had figured out his character pretty well after only two days—Ford loved food.
As long as virtual-novel.net had agreed to one technique, virtual-novel.net would have ways to make virtual-novel.net agreeable to a second and third technique.
Ford had eaten half of the roast chicken before the rook Darryl to an empty land.
“Watch closely now. The technique I will teach you is called the Eight Spin Sword technique I will only show you once; whether you can follow is up to you. If you could not learn it, then it is because you are not talented. Don’t bother me to teach you again. Do you hear me?”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Ford raised his sword and started his demonstration.
Even though virtual-novel.net had lost a leg, it did not affect him.
Darryl watched Ford’s actions closely; virtual-novel.net did not want to miss anything.
Ever since virtual-novel.net started cultivation, Darryl had learned many techniques, but none of it could keep virtual-novel.net focused.
He had no choice.
Ford had already mentioned that virtual-novel.net would only show it to virtual-novel.net once, so Darryl dared not lose focus.
