The Keepers I: Terra
Lily of the Pei Family died three times and lived four times. Unable to take being reborn multiple times, she finally decided to stop being lazy and started to move. She broke off her engagement with the useless crown prince, took a strong disciple, and made her disciple the strongest among the strongest in the Secular World. She then entered the Earth Realm, took another disciple, and had her disciples do the job for her. Oh, and she took a handsome man for her yet another disposal! Ah! Nothing makes a sloth happier than having someone else do the work for her!
Welcome Banquet (4)
IN THE MORTIS Guild.
A man, with only one eye opened, was sitting comfortably on his 'throne' when one of his men rushed to him and gave him a paper with a jade inside it. He casually took it, read its content, and hid the jade.
"Men," he called out coldly. "We have a job to do."

The day for the banquet came. Lily received a report that the Yen Family arrived. Hence, she quickly told the guards to lead them to the front door, directly to the receiving hall in the estate. As for the others, an entrance was made for them. The Pei Family didn't have any friendship with the ministers. There was no need to be overly polite to them.
Politics was complicated. If the monarch noticed a minister getting close to the Pei Family, the monarch would get suspicious.
