The inspector elder and the female Heavenly Realm martial artist from the Dragon Country had previously interacted with Lin Dong.
The first time he encountered them was also in Sakura Nation.
Back then, his strength was only that of an Earth Realm martial artist.
At that time, he broke into the Sakura Nation and almost wiped out their Earth Realm martial artists.
The guardian Aoba Nameless from the Aoba Shrine came out intending to kill Lin Dong, but was stopped by the inspector elder and the female Heavenly Realm martial artist from the Dragon Country.
Because of this past event, Lin Dong still held them in great respect.
"Inspector elder, I hope you've been well," Lin Dong stepped forward, cupping his hands in salute to the inspector elder.
The inspector elder raised his head, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, but quickly returned to calm.
He nodded slightly in response to Lin Dong's greeting.
