Chapter 73
The Peak of Gem was the shortest peak of all of them, but it also had advantages. It was located on a flat terrain with vast space. There were two crisscrossed streets on the mountainside. Beside the streets were side-by-side palaces, majestic and fabulous.
This was where the chamber of commerce of the Natural Law School was located. The market of the school was also there. It was as big as the markets of the biggest cities.
The Peak of Gem was also the most crowded place in the domain of the senior disciples. The streets were full of people. Airships flew across the sky from time to time.
It took Jiang Chen and Meng Hao an hour to walk to the Peak of Gem.
It wasn’t because the mountain path was rugged. In the Natural Law School, flagged roads led to all parts of the school. The roads were so wide and flat that even a carriage could drive in.
The thing was, the Natural Law School was too big. The Peak of Gem wasn’t the farthest place from the Redcloud Peak, but it did take a great deal time to walk there.
“I think we need an airship.”
That was how Wen Meng got this chance.
She really cherished it, because the commission she got from a transaction here was more than the pay of performing several tasks.
At first Wen Meng was excited. But soon, she found out how cruel the reality was.
The commission was high, but as a newcomer, she could barely get any.
She looked over to one of her colleagues, who was surrounded by many people. This colleague was the only one who was sitting in the room.
It was because she made the most commission among all female disciples working in the Skywind Chamber of Commerce… Her name was Liu Li.
Wen Meng envied her ability, but she couldn’t do the same. It was unimaginable for her to talk so casually with strange men and keep an uncertain relationship with them.
“Sister Li, there are new clients coming,” someone said.
“By ship or on foot?” Liu Li asked indifferently.
“On foot.”
Then Wen Meng found Liu Li was looking at her. She wasn’t surprised.
“Wen Meng, they’re your clients.”
“Okay.” Wen Meng sighed silently and walked to the door.
Those who travelled by ships were almost all rich people. There was a great chance of making a high commission.
As to those who came on foot, of course they were not as rich.
Soon Wen Meng saw her clients, two youngsters of the same age. One of them was a senior disciple, the other wasn’t even a junior disciple.
“Apprentice Brother, how can I help you?” Wen Meng tried to make her smile look natural.
“I want to sell panaceas.”
“Okay.”
Wen Meng’s smile went a bit stiff after she heard that.
The senior disciples got panaceas every month. Some of them would sell these panaceas to exchange for other stuff.
This kind of business was the most common and made the least commission.
Wen Meng could sense the other female disciples’ taunting looks.
“Please follow me, Apprentice Brother.”
Anyway, he was a senior disciple. Wen Meng didn’t have the nerve to offend him.
She took the two to a small room and served them tea.
She suddenly found the senior disciple was looking at her with great interest. She touched her face, having no idea why he was behaving like that.
“Apprentice Brother, what’s your name?”
Suddenly, Wen Meng found she had made a mistake. She hadn’t even asked their names.
The senior disciple smiled. Maybe he had seen her through and knew she was new here.
“My name is Jiang Chen. Take it easy. I’m not gonna eat you.”
