Chapter 343: Millipede (1)
'How would Shaolin know about me...? No, something feels off.'
At first, I felt pleased at the words that seemed to acknowledge me, but soon tilted my head in doubt.
The idea that I was the right person implied that my fame had even reached Shaolin, which was certainly a point of pride, but the content of the request was strange enough that I immediately felt suspicious.
'A Taoist priest? That’s not exactly my area of expertise, though?'
Saying I was the right person meant they thought I could handle this matter well, but I couldn’t see why I would be suited for something involving Taoist priests.
I had learned that the ultimate goal of all martial artists was to achieve enlightenment through martial arts and become an immortal.

“Well, you could say it's to attain enlightenment through martial arts and become an immortal.”
“An immortal? Like the ones who appear in dreams, bless babies, and give teachings? Maybe help you find your lost axe too?”
“Your axe?”
“Oh, that’s just something I heard.”
“I’m not sure about axes, but yes, something like that.”」
