Ling Nuo Lü Mansion (Thanks to Meng De Cuo Cuo Yi Duo Xiao Hua, thank you)

Zhang Qinwan stood on the remote tarmac on the west side of the airport, her long hair tied in a ponytail, her cheongsam swaying gracefully, an elegant and picturesque sight, telling a story of bygone years.

Seeing Su Yu step out of the cabin, she smiled gently, like a pale white pear blossom.

"Welcome home, little one."

"Auntie! I've missed you so much!"

Like a fragrant breeze, Cho Chang rushed out from behind Su Yu, ran forward and hugged Zhang Qinwan tightly, rubbing her little face against her. Zhang Qinwan gently patted her head.

"You're such a grown-up, yet you're still so clingy. You've been spoiled rotten by Su Yu for so long."

"No way! Su Yu is such a bad guy, he bullies me Tenten!"

Cho Chang enjoyed her aunt's caresses, and immediately started complaining to her, which made Su Yu furious. When did I ever bully you? Speak honestly!

Seeing Su Yu's anxious attempt to explain, Zhang Qinwan smiled again. "Alright, you're making a scene as soon as you get back. Hurry up and get in the car. I've already booked a hotel. You can make do for the night and get some rest."

A black bus stopped behind her. Fa-jie Ka-jie were still a little nervous. After carefully greeting Zhang Qinwan, they quickly boarded the bus. Zhang Qinwan greeted them gently, but her jade-like hand on Su Yu's waist pinched him hard.

"Are you really your father's biological son? Aside from being good-looking, your personalities are completely different. You're just a womanizer..."

After everyone else had boarded the car, Zhang Qinwan rolled her eyes at Su Yu and sighed. If only her father had half of his abilities, that would be great. But even a fifth of his abilities would be fine. She wasn't as open-minded as the younger generation.

"Stepmother... why are you criticizing me as soon as I get back? I was just trying to bring honor to the Su Family..."

Goodness, just one word, "stepmother," made Zhang Qinwan overjoyed. Seeing his aggrieved look, she gently tapped his head, then hugged Kurama and got into the car with a smile on her face like a little girl.

Guangzhou has a wide variety of delicious food. It was probably the first time that young Malfoy and his companions had eaten at a Muggle restaurant. They looked like they had never seen anything like it before, touching and looking at everything.

The restaurant offered a variety of dishes, including roasted three-layered black-haired pork char siu, a platter of braised pork feet and wings, deep-sea conch slices, caviar coral flower jelly, and bald-headed cold dishes. This made the Britain London, who were used to fish and chips and all kinds of pies, feel like they had entered Heaven. They couldn't have imagined that the East University could have such a rich and abundant diet.

Kurama had already jumped from Zhang Qinwan's arms onto the table and started showing off wildly, leaving Su Yu helplessly rubbing his forehead.

"Kurama, girls aren't allowed to eat at the table at East University..."

"Um... is a guy okay?"

Young Master Malfoy had only been studying East University language for a few months, and upon hearing Su Yu's words, he naively thought that male students at East University had such a high status that they could even sit at the table to eat.

"You can't even shut up while eating? Just eat your food, what are you thinking? Neither men nor women can eat at the table." Pansy forked a piece of char siu and stuffed it into Malfoy's mouth, almost making him choke.

The chicken in Guangzhou is famously delicious. Just look at how good it is, you can tell from the way Kurama looks at it. If Zhang Qinwan n't been holding her back, Kurama would have eaten it herself. After all, the rule that girls can't eat at the table is useless to her. She's just a fox, and where else would a fox be if not at the dining table, right?

"That's like turning you into a dish..." Su Yu twitched his lips, completely speechless.

Kurama didn't care. She was now the only oddball on the table who was spinning around with the table. Yes, she wasn't satisfied with the food, so she got on the rotating tray and started spinning with it. However, she soon started to feel dizzy and kept saying that the food was poisoned. Su Yu grabbed her and gave her a spanking before she finally behaved.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal at the banquet, and Zhang Qinwan even booked an entire floor of rooms in the hotel so that Su Yu and the others could get a good rest that night.

"Let's get some rest today. Tomorrow we'll head to our first stop, Ling Nuo Lü Mansion in Fu Province."

Grindelwald stood in front of the map, his handsome suit and flowing white hair giving him the air of a Ferrari that, even in its old age, is still Ferrari.

"Huh? This is only the first day, and we're leaving tomorrow to start the exchange? I haven't even had enough to eat yet..."

Callis pouted, clearly annoyed. Grindelwald didn't even glance at her; her every thought was written all over her face. She just hadn't had enough fun yet and wanted to stay a few more days, but the cultivators' headquarters in the Beijing had already arranged the itinerary, so there was nothing she could do.

So, there was no other way. Early the next morning, everyone took a bus to the Guangzhou Cultivator Branch. They were going to use the teleportation array to get to the Fu City Branch directly from there. Zhang Qinwan, as an accompanying person, naturally had to go with them.

"Wow, Chief, your East University's teleportation array is really convenient! This place is huge..."

The lobby of the Guangzhou branch is surrounded by ancient trees, each one enormous. People come and go, and there are even quite a few spirits and monsters.

"This is my first time here too, and it's bigger than I imagined..."

After a simple handover process, the staff led them to the teleportation array. More than 20 people stood on a small disc, and with a whoosh, they arrived in Fu City.

"Welcome to Fu City, everyone. I'm your receptionist for today. Just call me Wang."

A chubby middle-aged man was waiting for them with a grin next to the teleportation array. After Su Yu and the others landed, he quickly spoke up.

Ling Nuo Lü Mansion is located on a cliff near the sea in Lianjiang County, Fu City. It is not very large, but it has the oldest heritage.

"Chief, what exactly is Nuo Dance?"

On the way up the mountain, Callis asked Su Yu curiously.

"Nuo Dance? How do you explain it? You can simply understand it as a kind of shamanistic dance."

Su Yu wasn't quite sure either. He had only seen Nuo Opera, which was performed in various parts of the country. He hadn't understood it before, but it seemed similar to shamanistic rituals, like those used for praying for good weather, peace, and warding off evil.

"What kind of shamanistic ritual..."

Zhang Qinwan gave Su Yu a slap. She was accusing someone of being a shaman on their own turf, and she didn't want to be kicked out of the temple on her very first stop.

"Ling Nuo Lü Mansion is one of the oldest exorcism sects in the cultivation world. It originated from the fusion and inheritance of Primordial Wu-Nuo Culture and Lushan Sect magic. It takes Nuo Dance as the core of cultivation, Nuo Mask as the carrier of power, and has passed down the art of exorcising evil spirits and diseases and subduing demons through generations."

Seeing the puzzled look in Callis's eyes, Zhang Qinwan continued.

"They use Nuo Dance to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, and Nuo Mask to carry the power of the gods. They do not rely on magic wands or chant incantations; all their power originates from the masks and the dance steps."

"The power of masks? Can dancing kill?"

(Here I've attributed some cultural elements from Guizhou or Hunan to Fujian. Please don't mind; it's for the sake of the novel's plot. Let's not argue about it. I apologize in advance. After all, there are other sects later on, and having only one Guan Jiang Shou a bit empty.)
