Although Donald was the chief imperial mage of the Rotterdam Kingdom who had a very high status, he had already witnessed the strength of Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk during the time spent in the Sky Castle. Besides, Lin Li had also insulted the Gilded Kingdom twice, but there was nothing the Gilded Kingdom could do to retaliate, thus making Donald feel that Lin Li was profound and unpredictable.
Hence, Donald made up his mind to build a good relationship with Lin Li, and even went out of his way to swallow his pride and flatter the latter. If he could have a good relationship with Lin Li, it would be the greatest thing he gained from the trip to the Gilded Kingdom.
Lin Li naturally heard Donald's compliments, but he did not have any special reaction. Instead, he remained smiling, and said, "You must be joking, Master Donald, we're acquaintances. All my friends and acquaintances will be given a seat when they're here."
