Lin Shen and Long Yue arrived on the Arrogant Monarch's planet, originally planning to head straight to Diman Star to find Kristin. Whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, Catherine happened to be waiting in the teleportation station, looking as if she had been expecting them.
"Why are you two together?" Catherine scrutinized Lin Shen and Long Yue, seemingly trying to determine the nature of their relationship.
Lin Shen didn't react much, but Long Yue, flustered, blushed in a way that seemed out of character for her normally composed demeanor, hastily explaining, "Lin Shen and I have some collaboration."
Catherine took note but didn't press further. Instead, she studied Lin Shen carefully and said, "It's been a while since we last parted. I've missed you. How about we talk alone?"
"Alright." Lin Shen responded, somewhat puzzled, unsure what Catherine wanted to discuss.
