Initially, everyone was still puzzled about what Shen Yu’an was doing with Fei Yanchen, but then they saw the person who came down behind Shen Yu’an.
Fei Yanchen was still wearing the same clothes he had just put on, but his face had changed.
The elegant and noble young master, whose dignified air could not be concealed even in coarse linen clothes, had disappeared.
In his place was a face covered in freckles, with prominent cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and a dark complexion.
Grandma Shen looked at Fei Yanchen, whose clothes and height remained unchanged except for his face, and uncertainly asked, “Is this Ah Chen? Oh my goodness, how did he transform like this in just a short while?”
The others also had shocked expressions, except for Ji Xun, who couldn’t help but cover his mouth to suppress his laughter.
Fei Yanchen looked at Shen Yu’an with confusion and incomprehension.
He knew that Shen Yu’an had been doing something on his face ever since they entered, but it felt quite comfortable, so he didn’t think much of it.
Now, it seemed…
Before he could voice his question, Shen Yu’an spoke, “Being too good-looking on the way can easily attract trouble, so I gave you a simple disguise.”
Fei Yanchen was very curious to see what he looked like now after Shen Yu’an, this mischievous individual, had disguised him. It must be something quite astonishing to elicit such expressions from everyone.
However, Shen Yu’an didn’t give him a chance at all.
As if sensing his thoughts, Shen Yu’an quickly said, “Let’s go quickly. If we delay any longer, it will be dark outside.”
“Yes, yes, we need to leave quickly,” Shen Yun hurriedly helped Xiao Zhang onto the cart. However, it was evident from the twitching corners of his mouth that he was suppressing laughter.
Ji Xun, on the other hand, had fewer concerns. They had been teasing each other throughout the journey, and now he burst into laughter.
“Hahaha~ hiccup Hahaha, isn’t it funny? Why isn’t anyone else laughing?”
Ji Xun was bent over laughing, wiping tears from his eyes.
Although others also wanted to laugh, they managed to hold it in.
After all, it was their family’s young lady who had caused Fei Yanchen’s face to be like this. If they laughed and made him lose his temper out of embarrassment, how would they handle the anger from their young lady again?
Fei Yanchen had initially been delighted by Shen Yu’an’s explanation, thinking that it meant he was considered the most handsome one in the group in her eyes.
However, he then heard Ji Xun’s unrestrained laughter, and his cold gaze turned towards Ji Xun.
Ji Xun, huh? He remembered that his father had mentioned the disciple of the esteemed Royal Tutor was named Ji Xun.
Hmph, he remembered him!
While Fei Yanchen was secretly pondering how to teach Ji Xun a lesson, a gentle and delicate hand patted his back ‘lightly’ twice to comfort him.
“Cough, cough, cough~” Fei Yanchen covered his chest and coughed twice.
Shen Yu’an awkwardly withdrew her hand and laughed, saying, “Sorry, I didn’t control the strength properly.”
After saying that with a pouting face, Shen Yu’an looked at Ji Xun with a huff and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
Having said that, Shen Yu’an grabbed her bundle and walked over towards Ji Xun.
Ji Xun, seeing Shen Yu’an approaching with a fierce momentum, stopped laughing and felt a bit intimidated.
“Cough, um, aren’t we supposed to set off? Let’s hurry and go,” he quickly said.
As Ji Xun tried to run forward, Shen Yu’an quickly reached out and grabbed his collar, causing Ji Xun to stumble backward, nearly falling to the ground.
“Since you seem to enjoy it so much, how about I give you a disguise too? After all, good brothers should share both joy and sorrow,” Shen Yu’an said with a mischievous tone.
Ji Xun pleaded with her, seeking mercy.
Shen Yu’an replied, “Mercy request received, but I decline. Thank you~”
Fortunately, she hadn’t put the cosmetics away in her dimension, so she took them out again and started dabbling with Ji Xun’s face.
This time, everyone watched as Shen Yu’an used various brushes and items from bottles and jars to transform Ji Xun’s face into one with red… birthmarks on it.
Shen Yu’an looked at Ji Xun’s pitiful face and felt satisfied.
She put the items back into the bundle and stood up, clapping her hands. “Alright, let’s go.”
Watching Shen Yu’an walk to the side with the bundle, Ji Xun quickly took out a small bronze mirror from his own bundle.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Ji Xun shouted loudly while holding the bronze mirror. His handsome face!!!
In the next moment, the bronze mirror in his hand was snatched away by another person.
Fei Yanchen looked at his reflection in the mirror and finally understood why everyone had such expressions earlier.
However, he then looked up at Ji Xun.
Hmm~ He’s not the ugliest either.
“Tsk!”
Fei Yanchen casually tossed the bronze mirror back, and it happened to land in Ji Xun’s lap.
Then he walked over to Shen Yu’an’s side, looking as obedient as can be.
Indeed, the current appearance is a bit hard on the eyes.
Everyone suppressed their laughter and ignored Ji Xun’s wailing. What if Shen Yu’an decided to draw those strange symbols on their faces as well?
The team began to move, and Ji Xun could only follow along.
He secretly moistened his hand with water and tried to wipe off the stuff on his face, but to his surprise, it clung firmly and didn’t come off at all.
Shen Yu’an glanced at him and saw that he hadn’t washed off the paints from his face, feeling quite satisfied.
Hmph, if he could easily wash it off, wouldn’t all her efforts have been in vain!
If they were really subjected to a search, it would be a dead giveaway if he wiped his hand across his face.
The cosmetics she had used were all waterproof and sweat-proof, absolutely resistant to smudging.
Ji Xun gave up and followed the team with a somewhat dejected expression.
Everyone glanced back and saw his despondent look, and they couldn’t help but laugh in an unkind manner.
He had mocked others just a while ago, and now it was his turn.
And as it turned out, Shen Yu’an’s worries were not unfounded. After walking for nearly two hours, they encountered a group of searching soldiers.
As they spotted the officials approaching them from a distance, the Shen family and their group slowed their pace.
When the officials reached them, they also came to a halt.
“Halt! This is an official search!” the leading official shouted loudly.
