Lanling quickly bowed in return and said, "Junior, pays respects to His Majesty Jiang Shang."
Immediately afterwards, Tang Ren followed suit, bowing and saying, "Junior Tang Ren, pays respects to His Majesty Jiang Shang!"
Tang Ren also referred to himself as a junior, it seems the two have had interactions before.
After Tang Ren performed his salute, Suo Mo also bent over to salute.
King Dongli Jiang Shang cupped his hands in return to the two, then said to Tang Ren, "It's been a while, Tang Ren."
The two were indeed acquainted, both fond of adventures, so it's not surprising they had crossed paths before.
Jiang Shang said, "Emperor Lanling, previously you faced great difficulties within the Human Kingdom, I was tens of thousands of miles away, thus unable to rush back to aid you timely, I deeply apologize!"
With this statement, he directly revealed that Lanling was indeed Suo Lun.
Lanling replied, "No need, Your Majesty Jiang Shang has no obligation to assist me."
