Chinese students at Hogwarts.

The Shafiq family incident stung most of the pure-blood nobles. They gathered together and clamored to show this ungrateful oriental nobleman a show of strength.

It's just that this "unbreakable" alliance collapsed in a very short period of time. Zhang Chengdao's methods were almost exactly the same as Zhang Xiao's ideas.

Choose the less extreme ones, such as the Malfoy family, the Abbot family, the Macmillan family, the Slughorn family, the Shacklebolt family, etc.

A series of cooperation agreements were made, and some purebloods who were not very disgusted with Muggles and were unwilling to stick to the rules were immediately attracted.

Big, golden Galleons! There is also the vast market in the East that no one has ever touched!

The East is so mysterious. It seems that they have never left that country. No matter how hard these purebloods investigate Barra, they will never get more information than Dumbledore.

Otherwise, such low-level means would not be used to force the family behind Zhang Xiao to show up.

I don’t know what they think, but I have never tried to find the answer from Muggle history.

Pull a group, beat a group, divide them, and let them fight among themselves. I can only say that this method is quite easy to use.

Even Zhang Chengdao admitted:

"That old man is a legend. Even if he is an ordinary person, it will not prevent his brilliance from spreading to every corner of China. Even among Taoist sects, there are many people who regard his thoughts as treasures."

Of course, the transactions and a series of operations behind these have nothing to do with Zhang Xiao. In Zhang Chengdao's words, the Taoist sect spent a lot of effort on his behalf this time.

From ancient times to the present, Daomen has not been interested in going abroad. Coming abroad as a family of three is already an exception among exceptions, let alone cooperating with purebloods to engage in import and export trade.

Zhang Xiao was also surprised by this. Even if he was the heir to the Heavenly Master, it didn't seem worth the Taoist sect's effort.

Dad still had that "I know but I won't tell" look, which made Zhang Xiao extremely angry but helpless.

But I have to admit, I don’t have to worry about anything on my own, and it feels so damn good to have someone helping me take care of everything!

Zhang Xiao never thought that the second conversation with the principal would be so fast. Before he could finish reading the newspaper, a small note suddenly appeared on his plate.

"Come to the principal's office at night and the password has not changed."

This is the second time Zhang Xiao has entered the principal's office within a week.

This time the principal was dressed more formally. He pointed at his robe embroidered with stars and moons, and spread his hands to Zhang Xiao with still a gentle smile on his face:

"Thanks to you, I was invited by the purebloods to be a witness to witness the cooperation between the East and the West.

I have to say, the way your family has handled this has been eye-opening to me, and I'm pleased that they've exercised considerable restraint.

The best outcome is that no one loses their life. "

Zhang Xiaoduan sat upright and said with a wry smile:

"Principal Dumbledore, I just told them the situation. I don't know how to deal with it specifically. But what is certain is that the family has no intention of coming to the West for development."

Dumbledore nodded slightly and said softly:

"I can tell"

Then he stared at Zhang Xiao through the half-moon lenses and asked seriously:

"Zhang, no matter what, you have actually become the leader of some Slytherin people. At least those purebloods who choose to cooperate with the You family will unconsciously move closer to you.

You already have the power to influence them.

Although you are only a first-year student, I will not regard you as a first-year student. The wisdom and methods you have shown have far exceeded the scope of first-year students.

So please think of this question as a question from an old man, a principal who hopes that the school will get better and better.

Where do you want to take Slytherin? "

Zhang Xiao felt that the jade pendant on his chest became hot, and his heart suddenly twitched, Legilimency?

He took a deep breath and looked directly at the old man in front of him:

"At least, I won't bring it into the abyss. Maybe, I will give them a backbone, add a little pride, some responsibility, a little more tolerance, and finally inject glory."

Dumbledore suddenly smiled, and he snapped his slender fingers. Fawkes let out a crisp chirp, turned his head, pulled a feather from his body, and put it into Dumbledore's hand.

Just take it hard!

“Take it and use it to contact me if necessary, just burn the feather with fire.

Of course, it can only be used once, and I will decide whether to give you more support based on the development of the situation.

I hope you can keep your word, Zhang. "

Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. The principal's pressure was really strong, but it looked like the situation was good and he should have passed the test.

After saying goodbye, he wanted to leave, but he seemed to suddenly remember something. He considered his words carefully and said:

"Professor, I want to ask you something."

Dumbledore made a gesture of listening carefully.

"Just... I have a friend. This friend wanted to change some things and some people, but he found that even if he tried hard, things would gradually return to their original track.

I... This friend is very confused. Are many things destined to be unchangeable? "

A smile appeared in Dumbledore's blue eyes, and he said briskly:

"I have a suggestion for you... this friend, in this world, everything does not exist independently, they are intricately connected.

When they only change one thing, they may receive greater power on related matters, forcing them to return to their original track.

So it's not that it can't be changed. The key is whether we can discover the connection and try to find another way.

For example, if you want to change Slytherin, you can only gain superficial respect by talking about your glorious family background, but cooperation can give you the power to make real changes.

I don’t know if your friend can understand what I said. "

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, chewed the words carefully, and then nodded in relief.

"Thank you, principal!"

Dumbledore watched Zhang Xiao leave. The portrait on the wall finally became active again. A fat old man asked hurriedly:

"Albus, is this child telling the truth?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"Armando, Legilimency is not omnipotent, and this child has a magic prop that can block Legilimency. It is really a magical prop. (Note 1)"

The portraits shouted:

"Then how can we guarantee that he will not become the next Voldemort? Merlin, he has a greater advantage than Voldemort!"

"No, we have to stop this behavior!"

"Albus, you can't be confused!"

Dumbledore opened his hands to signal the portraits to be quiet, and he said calmly:

"Everyone, sometimes I have to admit that the experience brought by age and experience is more useful than Legilimency!

At least for this moment, I believed what the kid was saying. So I'll keep watching, even if he's a Slytherin. "

The portraits were silent for a while, and finally agreed:

"Listen to you, you are the principal!"

Dumbledore turned his attention to Phoenix, who was sleeping with his eyes closed:

"Fox, you like him too, don't you? I just want you to give him a fallen feather, not your tail feather."

Fox made a clear chirp, as if he was saying something.

Dumbledore chuckled.

"Interesting, let's wait and see."
