She turned the others hand, gripping her chin as she wiped away the white powder she had put all over her face. 

\"Mn. I just wanted to see what it would look like on my face, though. It's not necessarily a bad thing.\" Bai Yaoxuan shut her eyes as she allowed her sister to wipe her face for the second time.

\"You lived so long, you should know what looks best on you. Just because we're in a different world doesn't mean you need to wear different makeup.\" When the powder was all off, Shen Tianyu huffed and carefully put the towel back so it didn't splash. \"Here, I'll color your eyebrows.\" She picked up the eyebrow pencil and held the other's face up.

Shen Tianyu, on the other hand, didn't bother wearing makeup and merely strode outside in her choice of robes and her Cosmos bag tied on her waist, pulling Bai Yaoxuan along. When they got to the gates of the residence, there was a familiar, plain but sturdy carriage waiting for them. The driver told them Wangye had told him to drive the carriage up to wait for the two women. Shen Tianyu didn't bother with the details and assisted Bai Yaoxuan into the carriage before she jumped in herself. When the curtains were let down, she directed the driver to bring them to Zhouyang Pavillion, the most reputable place in the Capital. 

When they stopped in front of the restuarant, the guards at the door came up to the driver to question them, demanding they show their identification tokens. Probably because the carriage was plain so they didn't believe the people in it could possibly pay for the food in their esteemed restaurant. Shen Tianyu and Bai Yaoxuan could only hear the happenings outside and did not have x-ray vision so they just sat in place, trusting the driver to take care of the problem. After half a stick of incense, they could hear the guards again, this time with a much more humble tone.

\"So it was Zhu Wangye's people. Hahaha, forgive this one for being blind and not recognizing such esteemed guests. Please come inside, please come inside.\" They apologized to the driver sheepishly and warmly welcomed the occupants of the carriage to enter their humble establishment.

Shen Tianyu spoke directly through the window curtains, not bothering to lift up her hand to part them. \"Since Zhouyang Pavillion thinks we can not possibly pay for their food then there's no need to make it hard on yourselves. I'm sure we can find some good food to fill our stomachs at the street food stalls or other restaurants.\"

\"Nonono. It was this humble one's mistake for recognizing one of Zhu Wangye's carriages. We didn't mean such a thing at all but it's just a policy to make sure we didn't accidentall let in some... uncouth people.\" He tried to use her status as a newcomer to trick the woman into letting them go. If their boss heard they offended a to-be member of the Royal Family... even if she gets cut off later, they'll still be punished right away while she is still within their grace!

\"Oh? How come Ah-Jian never told me about such a policy? I see the people that went in ahead of us haven't had their identification plaques checked either.\" Shen Tianyu commented as if to make an observation but this made cold sweat start to drip down the back f the two guards who were bending their upper body parallel to the ground now.

\"This gentleman can't be lying to us to get out of this right? I heard Zhouyang Pavillion was a prestigous establishment visited by many elites, to think they would hire such... guards is quite concerning.\" Another female voice echoed from inside the carriage, her tone as young as the first but nonetheless carried a hint of haughtiness.

The back of the two guards were soaked with sweat now but they couldn't retort the other person for making things worse. 

\"This... um... no, not at all. This...\" The guard stuttered to a stop, not able to think of anything to say having dug himself into a grave.

The second guard who had not said anything up until now finally voiced his argument. \"It's a procedure for the ones who don't seem to have a clear identity. Since there are some that come here to... cause trouble. Hope Wangfei will understand.\"

\"Alright, there's no need to cause the guards difficulties, they were just doing their job.\" A willowy voice of a young man sounded form outside the carriage.

\"Young Master Bai, Young Master Ningwu!\" The first guard jolted and bowed repeatedly to the other, grateful to be met with a savior.

\"Young Master Ningwu, Young Master Bai.\" The second guard, though younger, had a more stable temperament than the first guard.

\"Senior Brother Liushan!\" Shen Tianyu's face broke into a smile upon hearing the familiar voice and got up from her seat immediately. \"Ow!\" And accidentally hit her head on the roof of the carriage. Still, rubbing her head, she opened the large curtain that served as a door and jumped down from the carriage. \"Yaoyao, Yaoyao, come here. There's some one I want you to meet!\" She gestured to the bewildered figure still sitting inside the carriage.

\"Aw, ok.\" Bai Yaoxuan pouted that she couldn't have anymore fun and got off the carriage with the help of Shen Tianyu.

Her face all smiles now, unlike her amused expression from before, she bounded up to Ningwu Liushan and Bai Longtian. \"Are you two here to eat too?\"

\"I thought the voice was familiar so it is you.\" Ningwu Liushan smiled at his new friend that he had not met since the entrance exam.

\"We're in front of a restaurant, what else could we be here for?\" Bai Longtian huffed at her nonsensical question.

\"Well I don't know. You could be meeting with friends or you could be doing family business or you could be meeting with the boss of the place...\" Shen Tianyu played along and actually responded back.
