Chapter 11: Baoyi Pavilion 2

Two young women dressed in pink gauze dresses with delicate features asked Qing Mei, "How can I help you?"

"I want to apply for a crystal card," Qing Mei said to the two women.

"Would you like a green, purple, blue, or black crystal card?" The two women maintained a very polite attitude.

"Which one is the best?" If I'm going to get one, I might as well get a good one, Qing Mei thought.

"The black crystal card is the best."

"Then I'll take the black one."

The two women were startled and exchanged glances. "Miss, please wait a moment. I need to go consult the manager. A black crystal card requires the manager's approval to be issued." After saying this, one of the women turned and hurried toward a small door. Qing Mei frowned; getting a card was such a hassle, and she was in such a rush.

The remaining woman seemed to notice what Qing Mei was thinking. "Miss, the black crystal card is a symbol of the highest authority in the Baoyi Pavilion. The Baoyi Pavilion has many branches across the Seven Profound Continent. Possessing a black crystal card is equivalent to possessing many rights, so it requires the approval of our founder. There are very few people in the entire Seven Profound Continent who possess a black crystal card."

Qing Mei nodded.

At the top floor of the Baoyi Pavilion—

"Your Highness, there is a young lady downstairs who wants to apply for a black crystal card. May I ask if we should grant it?" Chen Li, the manager of the Yue City Baoyi Pavilion, asked respectfully to the man standing in front of the window.

Nan Qingcheng looked down at Qing Mei, who was looking around, curled his lips, and turned around. "Grant it. Issue it to her for free and grant her the highest usage rights. If she asks, just say it was a gift from the head of the Baoyi Pavilion."

Chen Li looked at Nan Qingcheng, who had a smile on his lips, and was so shocked he nearly fell over. He had been by the Seventh Prince's side for many years and had never seen him smile. Seeing it today was truly terrifying. In the past, the Seventh Prince was always as cold as ice, never showing a pleasant face to anyone.

Chen Li didn't dare say anything and immediately went downstairs to see Qing Mei in person. The two guards at the door immediately lowered their heads respectfully when they saw Chen Li. "Greetings, Manager."

Chen Li walked past them and looked toward the reception desk, where he saw a stunningly beautiful young woman standing. He hurried forward. "Miss, I am Chen Li, the manager of the Yue City Baoyi Pavilion. You may call me Old Chen."

Qing Mei looked at the fifty-year-old Chen Li in front of her and felt a moment of confusion. She only wanted to apply for a black crystal card; why had the manager come down? But seeing that he was respectful toward her, Qing Mei replied respectfully as well. "Old Chen, can I apply for a black crystal card?"

"Yes, of course you can. Our head says that this black crystal card is to be issued to you for free. By the way, Miss, what is your surname?"

"Qing."

"Very good, very good. Miss Qing, please wait a moment." Old Chen signaled for the woman at the reception desk to hand over a black card. "Miss Qing, this is the black crystal card. You can claim it by dripping a drop of your blood on it. From then on, it will belong to you; even if someone steals it, they won't be able to use it. With this black crystal card, Miss Qing can use it at any shop under the name of the Baoyi Pavilion on the Seven Profound Continent and enjoy generous treatment. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can also ask the Baoyi Pavilion to help you resolve it. You can get discounts when bidding on items at the Baoyi Pavilion, and you can receive higher commissions when auctioning your own items. If you would like to enter the auction house now, please follow me, Old Chen."

Qing Mei toyed with the black crystal card. Seeing that no one around was paying attention to her, she secretly tucked the crystal card into her spatial storage. "Let's go, lead the way."

Upstairs, Nan Qingcheng saw this scene and was surprised. This girl was actually a rare spatial mage, but... it looked like she hadn't unlocked the true potential of a spatial mage yet...
