Lin Li and the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains might have their own forces in the Breezy Plains, but they were seen as a team of envoys of the Breezy Plains by the people of the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, the king of the Gilded Kingdom did not only receive Lin Li, but all the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains too. Of course, he mostly paid attention to Lin Li. After all, everyone knew how prestigious the Tower of Dusk was in the Breezy Plains.
Lin Li didn't put on airs or act pretentiously, either. After sending someone to inform the others from the Breezy Plains, he made some preparations, and brought everyone to a carriage to head to the palace.
At the dock of Helena Port, the Gilded Kingdom held a welcoming ceremony, which was extremely grand as well.
