"Morris, what are you doing here?" Xian asked immediately when Morr, now known as Morris, appeared. Although Morr had been secretly protecting Xian, he had never let him know. In fact, the day Karsha met Xian, one of Morr's shadows had been in Xian's shadow.
At the dire moment, he would have intervened. After all, wherever his shadows were, regardless of the distance, he could easily teleport there. That was how he moved away so quickly when the great sages appeared during his breakthrough and level-up.
"Xian," Karsha called out, "Morris will be joining us on this journey." Karsha didn't know how best to explain any of this, so he just lied. Although he treated Xian like a brother, some things needed to remain hidden for now. When Xian's destiny awakened, he would learn everything.
Xian simply nodded and went to chat with Morris. Karsha, on the other hand, turned to the system.
