Bodhi Ancestor shook his head at the sound, "No need for talk of gratitude, just avoid getting me involved in whatever troubles you run into later on..."
Upon hearing this, the monkey regretted his decision more, but feeling helpless, he could only continue bowing.
Then, Bodhi Ancestor turned to him and spoke with a deep voice: "Moreover, wherever you go, you will surely invite trouble. No matter what problems you cause, or crimes you commit, you must never mention that you're my disciple. If you utter even a half word of it, I will instantly be aware. I will skin you alive, and send your soul to the Nine Hells, ensuring you'll never reincarnate!"
Upon hearing this, the monkey felt an even deeper regret; he wiped his tears and said: "I will never dare to mention Master's name, I will claim that the skills I possess are of my own making..."
Bodhi Ancestor turned his head to look into the horizon and said softly, "Go now..."
Realizing there's no turning back.
