Stiff Hierarchy

In the vast, deep hall, under the lights which shone as bright as the sunlight, metallic long tables were placed in perfectly straight lines, surrounded by maids, who were dressed as prettily as butterflies, and large groups of Yu Clan men in black uniforms and with serious expressions, who patrolled in the hall.

Seeing Yu Meng and his people, a Yu Clan man in a black uniform walked over with stiff, puppet-like steps, carefully asking Yu Meng for his name, family name, the name of the family that his ancestors belonged to, and the names of the worlds currently ruled by his family. Afterward, he took out a fist-sized jade slip and looked up in it.
