They went on missions together and spent their holidays together.
After a mission one day, Yue Yuan suffered a minor injury. As Lin Yan applied medicine to it, he asked in surprise, "Doesn't everyone say the Yue family's inner circle has a defensive technique? Were you in too much of a hurry just now and forgot to use it?"
