Lin Mu's familiarity was somewhat expected at this point due to him having won the Tournament.
With how far the news had spread, there would be no major city in the Rust Sky World that would not have at least heard of his name once. Plus, with the visitors from the other worlds that had come to witness the event, his name would have been carried over to the other worlds too.
Still hearing it from Lady Kang herself was a unique experience.
"You know me?" Lin Mu asked.
"I do." Lady Kang replied. "I saw your fight as well." She added.
"Oh, looks like Lady Kang paid attention to Daoist Mu Lin too." Qiao De smirked. "I wouldn't be surprised if she had picked him as a candidate too… though that would be too much of a coincidence." He chuckled.
"Haha, that would certainly be interesting." Crown Prince Feng Shun laughed as well, thinking it would be too far-fetched.
No one knew though how correct they were.
