The carriage stops right in front of the gate, all the other carriges getting out of the way . The guards stood at full attention . Though Chengyuan school was indeed only loosely a.s.sociated with Rikui kingdom but the school was built within their territory . Not to mention, they were the biggest trade nation on the continent . Even if they had cultivators, they wouldn't be able to do anything without money so no footsoldier of the School would dare to be rude, much less arrogant, to the royalty of said kingdom .

The first to descend from the carriage is a man in a white robe with black sleeves, all of it mostly covered by a purplish-blue outer robe with gold embroidery at the edges and golden ta.s.sels weighing down the hems . Hanging from his waistband was a yellow jade pendant with a dragon carved into the middle of it with flowing red ta.s.sels attached to one side, presumably the bottom, of the round pendant . Despite the regal air he gave off and his das.h.i.+ng figure, his face was covered by an elaborate golden mask that covered half his face . His long, black hair was held back from his face by subtle black pins . Without minding the other people, the man turned back to the carriage and offered out his hand to the other person still inside it with an affectionate gaze .

The first thing from the occupant that came out of the carriage was a slender, slightly tanned hand covered by a light purple inner sleeve . Though the hand wasn't pure white, it had a healthy glow to it . The rest came the body of the person, who was female . Her inner robe was of a lilac color without any designs . Her outer robe was white with silver embroidery of clouds all over it . The sleeves were detached from the dress itself and tied to her forearms with miniature clouds as fasteners, revealing parts of her inner robe . At her hip was an clasp ornament that expanded upwards to right below her b.r.e.a.s.t.s in the shape of a wing . The ornament clutched a few lilac strands that circled around her waist at varying tightness . Hanging from the end of the ornament were two lucky knots made of more lilac-colored thread . Her hair was let down to show off her l.u.s.truous strands, while a white fastener that circled around her head held them back from her face . The fastener itself was with white fur, making the fasterner seem to only be a crown of white fur . A silver accessory in the shape of attached two cows horns was also clamped to the back of her head with two round emeralds embedded in a line in the middle . It held strings of lilac that were weaved into her bangs which were clasped with the white fastener, creating two semicircles of lilac on the top of her head that flowed atop and among her black tresses . Unlike her companion, the woman did not cover her face, putting her peerlessly beautiful face on full display .

As the crowd of people, both in carriages and on the ground, gaped at the couple in awe, the woman stepped down from  the carriage with the help of her companion and stepped on solid ground with her cloth shoes . She tried to let go of her companion's hand but he flipped their hands around and held her hands in his, even intertwining their fingers . The woman made a brief exasperated expression but let him do as he pleased then turned to look at the gate .

"So this is Chengyuan School? It's quite big, as expected . " She commented .

"Mm . It even has dorms for the financially disadvantaged and foreign students after all . " The man answered with a slightly proud tone .

The woman tilted her head and walkd up to the guards with the man in tow, still holding her hands .

"Excuse me Sir Guards, where do I go to take the entrance exam?" She addressed the guards standing ramrod straight at the gate as if they would get a good beating if they even so much as twitched their nose . They were gawking at the pair just like the rest of the people, exceot they were better at hiding it than others .

At her question, the more experienced guard on the left, who had better reaction time opened his mouth to answer . "First, show your identification plaque . "

An identification plaque was a just a plaque with your name on it along with your spiritual signature, with a similar function to an Identification Card in her old world . A spiritual signature was something unique to a person and their spiritual energy and would therefore be very hard to replicate, almost impossible . Though it was unique, it was simple to inscribe it onto the identification plaque . One merely had to send out a little bit of their spiritual power and the plaque would record it . As one's spiritual power came from one's core, as long as the person doesn't lose or change their core, the spiritual signature would stay the same no matter how strong you get . Thankfully, Shen Tianyu had acquired her identification plaque from the Ministry of Rites and proceeded to inscribe her spiritual signature immediately . This was an advanced technology that they only had in the Dong Qi continent so she didn't bring one from Nang Zhou nor acquired one in Xi Jing . Continents with more powerful people were surely more advanced .

Shen Tianyu reached for her Cos...o...b..g which she had placed in between her hip clasp and dress, hanging from the lilac strands that circled her hips and waist . Immediately, she felt the identification plaque and pulled it out, handing it over to the guard in front of her .

The people nearby immediately let out an audible gasp . At most, the richest people could afford a Cosmo ring to store their valuables . Only people of the highest status in the Upper Cla.s.s, such as the Emperor and his direct family, could get something bigger . This woman whom they obviously didn't recognize, just where did she come from to own something like a Cos...o...b..g? The man accompanying her was one of their Qinw.a.n.gye but two of their w.a.n.gye rarely ever a.s.sociated themselves with women, much less foreign royalty . And the man certainly wasn't the Qiao Qinw.a.n.gye . The mask was more a trademark of Zhu Qinwagye but . . . since when did Zhu w.a.n.gye even looked at women?! Wasn't he gay?!
