Chapter 72: The Peak of Gem

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 . "

Jiang Chen saw the disciples getting off the airship all looked relaxed and elegant .

Those airships were of medium size . Comparing with the Cloudbust that Jiang Chen had taken, they were only small ships, but they flew at similar speeds .

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen set his eyes on one of the airships . It looked to be exquisite and in good condition . Those who got off it were all women, beauties with fair skin and excellent temperament .

"That's the ship of the Peak of Ingénue . "

Meng Hao went there to grocery shop a lot, so he knew the place pretty well .

"The Peak of Ingénue?"

"Yes . It's as famous as the Peak of Heavenly King . Its owner is a wonderful woman called Li Xue'er . Many female disciples are her followers," Meng Hao said .

Li Xue'er?

Jiang Chen had heard of this name . She was the number three disciple on the Talent List .

At the same time, he noticed those female disciples of the Peak of Ingénue were all proud as peacocks . They disappeared soon from the street corner, ignoring the male disciples' amorous gazes .

"There is a Beauty List in the Fire Field . Li Xue'er is on the list," Meng Hao said .

"Why do they have so many lists? A beauty list… Is there a list for handsome men?" Jiang Chen laughed .

To his surprise, Meng Hao nodded, "Yes, there is one . But it's called the Prince List instead of 'handsome men list . ' To get onto the list, they don't just evaluate your appearance . The most important thing is your background . They also consider your reputation . You will only get onto the list if you're excellent in all three of these aspects . "

Then Meng Hao recalled something, but wasn't sure whether he should say it or not .

"What? Is that Ning Haotian on the list?" Jiang Chen said in a relaxed manner .

And Meng Hao nodded . But soon he said, "Ning Haotian was on the list . But when you joined the Natural Law School, he was removed from the list . "

"Why is that?"

Meng Hao said, "Because of the fame you'd garnered, your holy pulse's robbery regained people's attention . There were many negative comments about him . Of course he couldn't stay on the list . "

"When did this happen?" Jiang Chen asked .

"About a month ago . "

Jiang Chen tumbled to the realization . He said, "No wonder as soon as I joined the Natural Law School he attacked me like a crazy dog . That's why…"

At this moment, Jiang Chen noticed Meng Hao's embarrassed expression . He put one hand on Meng Hao's shoulder and said, "You don't have to restrain yourself with me . It's all right to talk about the holy pulse . "

Meng Hao felt relieved . He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be so open-minded . However, since his father was still imprisoned under the Black Dragon Pool, Meng Hao was still afraid he would say something wrong .

Then the two went to the famous Skywind Chamber of Commerce .

Although the rules of the Natural Law School were rigid, there were few restrictions for the disciples . They could do whatever they wanted in their allocated peaks . Besides that, they could also start chambers of commerce inside of the school to do business .

Of course, not everyone could start a chamber of commerce . One had to be powerful enough to do it .

Most of the disciples were only street vendors if they wanted to sell things .

It was spacious in the Skywind Chamber of Commerce, but there were no products on display there . Instead, there were many pretty women standing around .

These women would greet the clients actively when they went into the hall of the chamber of commerce . They would inquire the clients' needs first before taking them inside .

The Skywind Chamber of Commerce was famous for such thoughtful services .

In addition, the women working there weren't just average women . They were junior disciples of the Natural Law School . They were working there to earn contributions .

It was a popular job among junior disciples . It was impossible to get this job without connections .

Among the female disciples, a girl called Wen Meng was standing in the corner with a worried look .

She was remembering her past . She was a cherished daughter in her small city . Her parents were very proud of her and even the mayor placed great hope on her . She didn't disappoint them, since she joined the Natural Law School smoothly .

But not until she came to the Natural Law School did she realize how big the world was .

Her talent was nothing in the Natural Law School . The genius of a small city descended to mediocrity .

Wen Meng recognized the reality and started to practice hard . She wanted to be promoted to senior disciple as soon as possible .

However, the requirement of one million contributions was too difficult to satisfy . She had to earn so many contributions within two years that she had to perform tasks or make some kind of achievement .

She could work in the Skywind Chamber of Commerce thanks to her best friend .

Her best friend was a strong woman . She had never slacked off when she was a junior . In less than one year, she was promoted to senior .

Then she came to know an apprentice brother who was also a senior disciple . He was the steward of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce .

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 . "
