Lin Shen recognized her voice and confirmed it was truly Long Yue. He began to contemplate whether he should take this opportunity to seize the Fire Seed from her.

"I was merely taking a break in seclusion." Lin Shen casually gave an excuse, not bothering to elaborate further. He then asked Long Yue, "Why are you here?"
