contents If the Universe is endowed with cosmic anisotropy, it will have a preferred direction of expansion. Reconstructing the expansion history by Gaussian Process (GP) can be used to probe the cosmic anisotropy model-independently. In this paper, for the luminosity distance $d_L(z)$ reconstruction, we turn to the inverse distance ladder, where type Ia supernova (SNIa) from the Pantheon+ sample determine relative distances and strongly gravitationally lensed quasars from H0LiCOW sample anchor these relative distances with some absolute distance measurements. By isolating the anisotropic information that could be carried by the Hubble constant $H_0$ and obtaining constraints on the intrinsic parameter of SNIa, the absolute magnitude $M=-19.2522^{+0.0594}_{-0.0649}$ (at $68\%$ CL), we find that $d_L(z)$ reconstructions from samples located in different region of the Galactic coordinate system are almost consistent with each other, while only a very weak preference for the cosmic anisotropy is found.
