"This isn't a good idea."
Master He's voice was unconcerned, "You were the one that said he does not have a system."
"I said that I've not seen any evidence of it existing, not that it doesn't. For all we know, Xuxu could have been hiding it all these years for some reason."
"He's a child," Master He insisted.
"Precisely why there isn't any need to go through unnecessary risks like this!"
"Having the two of us is more than sufficient protection."

Xuxu quelled his anxiety and blinked up innocently. "I didn't hear anything." He totally heard everything.
Shizun's eyes twitched.
