Princess Ketiya came to the Blue Sky Lake International Yangyuan Art Association to apply for the fourth-level Yangyuan Master qualification assessment. In fact, this assessment can also be conducted at the Luoba Alliance branch that Pan Cai is responsible for, which also has the qualification to issue Level 4 instructor certificates.

But coming to the Blue Sky Lake International Association seems more authoritative and ceremonial, and Princess Ketiya’s purpose is not just to obtain a Level 4 certificate.

As a newly promoted fourth-level Yuan Yuan Technique instructor, she certainly hopes to go to Bikong Lake, the "holy place" in the eyes of Yuan Yuan masters from all over the world, to take the test. And there is a more "holy" place than Bi Kong Lake, which is Yangyuan Valley.

Yangyuan Valley is not open to the public, and there is no mark on the map. Non-Yangyuan Valley disciples don’t even know where it is.

Yangyuan Valley also receives visitors to visit the mountain, but Kedia's identity is obviously not enough, even if she is the crown prince of Beli, because that has nothing to do with the world of cultivation.

So Kedia contacted Feng Zibin, hoping that through Feng Zibin's relationship, she could visit Yangyuan Valley.

Rozchild personally accompanied the princess here, mainly because he wanted to take this opportunity to meet Hua Zhenxing, see the current situation of Jili Kingdom and Huanxiangtbang, and discuss other plans.

Considering that this time she was undergoing the assessment as a Yangyuan Master, Ketia did not have a large team accompanying her. Lian Na originally wanted to accompany her as a friend, but Kedia also dissuaded Lian Na.

Princess Ketia's entourage is not many, and the most important one is actually a great magician named Peak House. Her first and last name sounds purely English, but she is from an authentic Chinese ethnic background in Dongguo.

The investigation data urgently sent by Wang Fengshou showed that his original name was Mataishan in Dongguo, so Pick-House was a free translation.

Translating "horse" into "house", although it loses some meaning, is not wrong, but translating "Taishan" into "peak" is a typical anomie.

In fact, Mataishan gave up his Dongguan name a long time ago and immigrated to Yiguo and became a naturalized citizen. Information shows that Ma Taishan was born in a family of leaders of a financial institution in Dongguo, and his ancestral home is in a place called Taishan Village in Dongguo.

It was only after he graduated from his undergraduate degree that he went to study abroad at the University of Birmingham in England, where he studied for a one-year master's degree in finance that is unique to England. The tuition is very expensive, and more than half of the students in the class are international students from Dongguo. They can basically communicate in Dongguan on weekdays.

There is another kind of international student in England, that is, they are sent to boarding school since elementary school. After graduating from middle school, when they reach the age and length of residence, they can directly apply for immigration and naturalization.

But international students like Ma Taishan are different. They only study abroad for one year after graduation to get a master's degree. Most of the students from Dongguo returned to China after receiving their degrees and found connections to work in major financial institutions, such as commercial banks, securities, funds, venture capital, etc.

Many leaders of such organizations had the same experience in their early years, so they formed a circle. But there are exceptions. For example, two of Ma Taishan's classmates went to work on the community streets of a large city in Northeast China after returning to China.

Ma Taishan is an exception among exceptions. While he was studying abroad, he was spotted by a magician and became an apprentice. He soon had the status of a trainee magician. After graduation, he became an official magician. He is extremely qualified. .

Wang Fengshou suspected that Mataishan had received the inheritance and introduction of casual cultivators in Dongguo in his early years, but he did not find any relevant clues.

Mataishan never returned to China. He later broke through the Dacheng cultivation level and became a great magician in the Gambistine system. In fact, every Dacheng monk has extraordinary talents and profound blessings.

Ma Taishan is thirty-three years old this year. It was ten years ago that he went to study in Yinguo, and it was two years ago that he achieved great success. This time when he came to the Kingdom of Jili, he was protecting Princess Ketiya as a great magician.

Hua Zhenxing was very surprised - how unpopular was this Peake House in Gambistine?

Hua Zhenxing did something similar back then, sending Pan Cai to Brussels to protect Rothchild. Not only did he not like to see Pan Cai at that time, but he was also suspicious, but he was not as direct as Gambistine was with Matai Mountain.

Hua Zhenxing had given Pan Cai enough respect, at least openly. Pan Cai did not directly work as a bodyguard as a Dacheng monk, but had an important mission to protect Rozchild.

Pan Cai and others arrived in Brussels to provide technical guidance on the promotion of Yangyuan Shu, the use of Chunrong Dan, etc., and eventually established the Loba Alliance branch of the International Yangyuan Shu Association... These tasks require a Dacheng monk to preside over .

Later, Hua Zhenxing's realm and vision improved to a higher level, and he reached a reconciliation with Pan Cai. Now, whether it is the promotion of Yangyuan Technique or the introduction of Chunrong Dan, it has opened up in the Luoba Alliance, and the Luoba branch has also been successfully established.

Pan Cai's contribution was great, and he was willing to continue to sit in the Luoba branch. Hua Zhenxing also respected his wishes and dispatched more disciples from Yangyuan Valley to take turns to help Pan Cai complete his work better.

Compared with Pan Cai back then, the great magician of Matai Mountain is now in a different situation.

Mataishan had no other identity to hide, he just showed up with the title of great magician, and his nominal task was to accompany Princess Ketia to protect him, which made people speechless.

First of all, Ketiya is not a magician under Cambystine. Does Cambystine need to intervene in her security work? Although Her Royal Highness cannot refuse and has to express her gratitude, logically it is not her turn!

It was Rozchild who explained it in private, because the predecessor of the Roba branch of the International Yangyuan Shu Association was the vitality club run by Rozchild, Ketia and others, and it cooperated with Gambistin at the beginning of its establishment. relation.

Therefore, in this name, Gambistine arranged a bodyguard for Ketia to accompany him to witness Princess Ketia's itinerary. Maybe he wanted to know as much as possible about the situation.

This arrangement is a bit absurd. The great magician is not a cabbage, and he is arranged to be a bodyguard for a monk from the Four Realms? What's even more ridiculous is that just in the name of a bodyguard, is it so shameless?

Ketia is still different from the Rochild of the past, who was very important to both Yangyuan Valley and Huanxiang Industrial. But Ketiya is just a princess from the royal family of a false king. Even if she is the king of Beli, she is not of much importance to Gambiste, right?

If he is supervising in the name of a bodyguard, then who and what should he supervise? Isn't it uncomfortable for Kedia to apply for the assessment at Blue Sky Lake and still need his supervision?

Even if there was a factional struggle within Gambistine, it would not be such a task for a great magician.

But the fact is that it is like this, which can only mean one thing. This is not a faction issue, but that Mataishan is unanimously disliked by all factions in Gambiste, and lacks due respect for it.

But he is a great magician after all. Is this because of his origin? This made Hua Zhenxing very sympathetic to Ma Taishan's situation, and even wanted to fight for him, because Hua Zhenxing was also from the Chinese ethnic group of Dongguo!

But Hua Zhenxing soon no longer wanted to see this person because he contacted Yue Gaole.

Hua Zhenxing wanted to ask what happened to Yue Gao Le? Kedia just came to take a test and visit, but Gambistine actually sent a great magician to follow her, and that was in the name of a bodyguard!

Did Ketiya commit something and pose such a threat to Gambistine that it is necessary to send special personnel to keep an eye on it? If this is not the case, who is being eliminated?

Yue Gaole smiled bitterly and explained that this had no intention of burying Yang Yuan Gu. He also knew very well that if Yangyuan Valley couldn't guarantee Kediya's safety, why would he send Matai Mountain to take the blame?

As for supervision, that's out of the question. Gambistin is a partner of Yangyuan Valley and not a superior unit.

Gambistine cooperates with Yangyuan Valley in various aspects. As the founder of the Vitality Club, Princess Ketia has become a fourth-level Yangyuan Technique instructor. Gambistine is also very concerned about this, and it is normal for her to send someone to accompany her to understand the situation. .

But sending a great magician to reveal his identity as Ketiya's bodyguard seemed disrespectful. The blame lies with Mataishan himself, because Mataishan wanted to find out the details of Yang Yuangu.

Hua Zhenxing was speechless. Since the founding of Yangyuan Valley, Yue Gao Le had come countless times. The details that could be ascertained had already been discovered by Yue Gao Le. If it's not even possible to make an appointment with Gaule, how can Gambistin still count on Mataishan?

Jogaulle also explained that it was not that Gambistin needed Mataishan to understand the situation, but that Mataishan himself believed that Gambistin needed to rely on him.

As for the relationship between Yue Gao Le, Ge Lin and others and Yangyuan Valley, Hua Zhenxing knew about it, but Ma Taishan did not! They don't have to report to Ma Taishan, right?

After Ma Taishan broke through to Dacheng cultivation two years ago, he wrote a letter to Ting Zongmian, providing an action plan or planning plan, describing his ambitions and suggestions for Gumby Ting.

In Ma Taishan's view, the cooperation between Gambistine and Yangyuan Valley can only be temporary and expedient. Such an important resource as Chunrong Dan and such an easy-to-promote introductory technique as Yangyuan Technique will all be in the hands of Gumby Sting in the long run.

Ma Taishan suggested that from now on, Gambistine should form a special team to research and crack the refining method of Chunrong Pill, and it is best to develop alternative magical potions.

In fact, Ma Taishan didn't know that Gambistin had been doing this kind of thing for a long time, and the relevant team had been formed a long time ago, but it was not easy to disclose it to the outside world. Only the core senior management knew the specific situation.

Gumbistine has developed several magical potions that can replace Chunrong Dan with spiritual effects, but first of all, the output cannot meet the requirements. Without mass production, there is no market at all, and cost is another issue.

Unknowingly, Ma Taishan provided a plan, believing that not only should a dedicated team be established, but also investment in all aspects should be increased. His intention is obvious, that is, to step forward and hope that he can preside over leadership-related work.

The affairs he wants to be responsible for include, but are not limited to, the cracking research of Chunrong Dan, finding mass production methods for alternative medicines, the study of Yangyuan Techniques, and the penetration and control of Yangyuan Valley, especially Huanxiang Industry.

Ting Zongmian did not dampen his enthusiasm, but he did not tell him too many core secrets. He just replied: It is good that he has this intention. If he is able to complete the plan, it will be a great achievement.

His Majesty Ting Zong also reminded Ma Taishan that Yangyuan Valley was Gambistine's partner after all, and had brought huge benefits and numerous resources to Gambistine. So no matter what Mataishan wants to do, don't publicize it publicly.

Ting Zongmian's meaning is already obvious: if you have the ability, then do it yourself. At least you must prove that you have the ability first. Only attitude is not enough.

There are still some things that are difficult to explain clearly. Just because you have this idea, you can’t form a team and invest resources for you. Why? If something like this could really be accomplished, who would have no idea? It had to be you, Ma Taishan?

Ma Taishan then wrote a letter, saying that his own strength is really limited and he needs Gambistin's attention and support. There must be a research institute for magical medicines, right? Is it appropriate for a trial production company? Is it necessary to form a team of magicians who study the art of cultivating energy?

Ting Zongmian had no choice but to reply again: The key to this question is, what specific plan does Matai Mountain have? For example, the actual research direction of magical potions, the research results of Yangyuan Art, and the control plan of Huanxiang Industrial?

More importantly, relevant plans and programs must be based on reality and feasibility, and must be fully researched and demonstrated... In short, Mataishan must have something practical.

In this way, Tingzong and his Majesty were very supportive of Ma Taishan's two petitions, but there was no actual action. This makes Ma Taishan often lament that his heart of repaying his fists is empty.

In order to help Mr. Peake House improve, Gambistin sent him directly this time. There really is no other name, and he can't clearly say what he wants to do, so just arrange to be Ketiya's bodyguard. If you want to achieve something big, don't be afraid of being eliminated!

After hearing the whole story, Hua Zhenxing asked: "Mr. Yue, why didn't you tell me earlier about such a famous person?"

Yue Gaole said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "No way? Is Director Hua so naive that he thinks there is no such person in Gambistin?"

Hua Zhenxing lost his temper when he was asked back. Mr. Yue was right. How could there be no such people in the world? There must be a group of them in Gambistine. It was really nothing to make a fuss about.

But the appearance of Matai Mountain collapses a cognitive concept into a vivid individual before our eyes. When he saw this man again, Hua Zhenxing's original sympathy had long since disappeared, and he was equally displeased with him.

There is a kind of person in the world who seems to be excellent and feels good about himself, but no one wants to see him. But everyone wanted to save face, and they were too embarrassed to hurt someone when they met, let alone beat him up once they met, so Hua Zhenxing didn't do anything.

Back to business, Kedia was able to break through the four realms of cultivation, which shows that Pan Cai's Roba Association's work is very effective.

Of course, this is also related to Ketiya’s own diligence. In the practice of secret arts, even if it is just the cultivation of energy, if you want to achieve something, you certainly need to have the lowest talent, but it is impossible without diligent practice.

Luo Zhaide practiced Yangyuan Art earlier, and Hua Zhenxing was the first person to teach it, but so far he has only managed to break through the three realms.

If Ketiya visits officially through diplomatic channels in an official capacity, Charles may also receive her if he is free. Wang Fengshou will also show up to arrange the itinerary, and will be accompanied by the relevant protocol department to receive her.

But Ketiya came in a private capacity this time. She was a new fourth-level Yuan Yuan master who wanted to apply for the assessment, so all these procedures were waived. In fact, Yangyuan Valley also attaches great importance to it, and arranges all affairs very seriously.

Manman, director of the Yangyuan Shu Center and chairman of the International Yangyuan Shu Association, personally presided over the assessment. Ketiya successfully passed the assessment of the fourth-level Yangyuan Technique instructor, and the certificate will be issued on the spot.

The certificate bears the signature and seal of Chief Instructor Hua Zhenxing. As the founder of Yang Yuan Shu, Hua Zhenxing is not only the chief instructor of Yang Yuan Valley, but also holds the title of chief instructor of the international association.

Of course, the certificates with signatures and seals have been prepared a long time ago. It is impossible for Director Hua to sign and seal everyone during the assessment. The only thing left is to fill in Ketiya’s name.

There is also a special process, that is, the certificate needs to be refined. This is the most unique anti-counterfeiting method. It is equivalent to the simplest magic weapon.

The so-called magic weapon is actually a certain page in the certificate, which has no other magical effect. If it is activated with magic power, it can display the registration information of the registered spiritual master. If it is the internal certificate of a Yangyuan Valley instructor, it can also become a popular symbol of Yangyuan Valley.

Therefore, this certificate issuance ceremony also requires on-site refining of the certificate page. Manman asked first: "Your Highness, do you have an Eastern Mandarin name?"

The International Association receives practitioners from all over the world, but its working language is Dongguan. Therefore, the name column of the certificate must also be filled in Eastern Mandarin. If there is an Eastern Chinese name, fill in an Eastern Chinese name. If there is no Eastern Chinese name, give yourself one.

According to the practice of international associations, the translation format of a long list with an intermediate point is not accepted. Many students who do not have a Dongguan name often ask their instructors to help them come up with a name.

If the original name is non-Eastern Mandarin, you must add parentheses at the end and fill in the name of your mother tongue. Many people have very long names in their native language, so the content in this bracket may even last several lines.

Today was the first time for Ketia to apply for a certificate. She skipped the first three levels and went directly to apply for the fourth level certificate, which was considered an exception.

Rozchild was afraid that Ketiya would not understand, so he quickly took out his third-level certificate and opened it to show it to Ketiya. In the column of his name, there are three Eastern Chinese characters for "Roschild", followed by his name in English in parentheses.

In fact, the three characters "Roschild" are the translation of his surname, but when he named himself Dongguo, he simply used this name. In the English context, his surname is Luo Childe, but in the Eastern Mandarin context, his surname becomes Luo Childe.

Ketiya then asked with a smile: "Do I need to choose a surname among the hundreds of surnames in the Eastern Kingdom?"

Manman explained: "That's not necessary. After all, this is the Kingdom of Jili, not the Kingdom of the East. It has its own national conditions. If you don't inherit a Dongguo surname, you can choose a Dongguo character as your original surname.

For example, in the Poseidon clan where I was born, some people chose the surname Hai, others chose the surname Zha, and my surname was Man..."

Ketiya nodded and said: "Then my surname will be Ke, and my name will be Ketiya. Mr. Feng Zibin taught me to write these three Eastern characters, and I have always regarded them as my Eastern name."

Ketiya, unlike Rozchild, is a given name rather than a surname, but when she said it, it became an Eastern Mandarin name - the surname was Ketiya.

At this time, Peake House suddenly spoke to dissuade her: "Your Royal Highness, I do not recommend that you agree to such a request. How can you give up your noble royal surname and randomly choose a Dongguo character as your surname?"

As a Dacheng monk, he could have used his spiritual thoughts in private, but now he spoke out. Moreover, what he spoke was Tulip, a relatively niche and unpopular language, but it was the royal language of Beli King.

Many people at the scene didn't understand, but some people did. Regardless of whether they understood or not, everyone was surprised. The scene was filled with astonishment. Even Ketiya herself was stunned. Manman raised his head and said, "Ma Taishan, are you sick?"
