The old man, as if knew what was in Rhehan"s mind, patted the boy"s head and then turned to look at Rose. Rose bowed down in reverance, folding her hands and the old monk smiled warmly, keeping his hand on her head. "You and your wife look very good together!"
Rhehan coughed awkwardly, looking at Rose, while the other monks laughed at their awkward faces.
"Sifu, you also know about it?" Rhehan gaped at the old man in surprise.
The old monk smiled and looked at Rose. "Don"t forget to give him that herb. He can be careless about his health!"
"Yes, Sifu!" Rose giggled looking at Rhehan.
The old monk then turned to look at Rhehan. "I am happy that you are evolving to be a better human being Rhehan. Your path will be tough but remember my words! You are stronger than you think! You need to trust yourself. Your path ahead might try to pull you back in your older life, but you just listen to your heart. I am repeating it again! Just don"t trust anybody else, but yourself!" The old monk spoke in a very serious tone, looking at Rhehan. He then turned to look at Rose. "If you don"t believe in yourself, see it from this girl"s eyes. She knows you, more than you know yourself. Your future is going to be tough! The real war is going to start now!"
"Yes Sifu. I will try my best!" Rhehan nodded, grasping each and every precious word. The old man then held Rhehan"s hand, looking at his bracelet. Before Rhehan could ask him anything, the old monk spoke again. "Though you are highly protected, but you have to help yourself now! You are slowly getting physically strong. This bracelet is making the effect of poison in your body to fade away!"
"You mean, I still have the poison in my body that father gave me?" Rhehan frowned.
"Yes the effect on your organs it still there! But not just the physical poison, also the mental trauma he gave to your soul. You have also inherited some bad habbits from him, but not many. Luckily you are more like your mother! This bracelet will help you fight those addictions and habbits. But I repeat, you have to trust yourself first!" The old man smiled and patted the boy"s shoulder.
Rhehan then took out the red stone from his pocket, given to him by the chimpanzee. "I was given this by the chimpanzee, back at the hut. Should I hand this over to you!"
The old monk looked at the stone and sighed. "No! This has always been yours. Wait for a day or two, you will find the perfect use of it yourself. Certain things are destined to be done only by you."
Rhehan nodded in obedience and kept back the stone in his pocket.
