Greengrass

Xiwen fully recognized the difficulty of integrating Pure-blood in England.

From Muggle perspective, the England aristocracy actually began to take shape in the 5th century AD, during the Anglo-Saxon era, and has continued to this day. Although it has experienced several ups and downs, the aristocratic class has never been interrupted and has repeatedly shown new vitality.

In many times of crisis, it was the noble class that led the England out of its predicament. As a result, the England's nobles became the longest-lasting class in the world and the class that played the greatest role in promoting the country's history, a situation that is virtually unique in world history.

France, however, is different from England. After France's Muggle World in the Franco-Prussian War in the last century, the Third French Republic was established, and there was no longer a monarch as the head of state. Without the influence of the monarchical system, the title of noble seems somewhat undeserved.

Therefore, the France nobility did not have the same deep-rooted influence as the England.

This wasn't just the case in the Muggle World; the Wizarding World was in a similar situation. Before the International Confederation of Wizards International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1689 and formally established it in 1692, the Wizarding World had always been in contact with the Muggle World.

A prime example is Sir Nicholas, who served as a court wizard in the 15th century and was knighted by the royal family; there was also the Fat Friar who served as a monk in the church and dreamed of becoming a cardinal; and even the Malfoy family, whose first resident, Armand Malfoy, established Malfoy Manor on land granted by King William I of England.

Even after the establishment of the Statute of Secrecy, not all wizards strictly abide by it. In secret, many individual wizards and even various wizarding families have various transactions and exchanges with Muggle. Because of this, the Wizarding World has always been greatly influenced by the Muggle World.

This led to the different mindsets and habits of the Pure-blood nobles in the Wizarding World England and France.

Therefore, even if Xiwen was able to integrate the Pure-blood forces of the France in more than half a year, it does not mean that he could integrate the Pure-blood of the England in the same amount of time and effort.

Moreover, in England, almost all wizards are from Hogwarts, and half of the Pure-blood are sorted into Slytherin House. Therefore, many of the families that Xiwen wants to integrate are his classmates and friends. This makes it impossible for him to use violent means to subdue those unyielding families as he did in France.

After leaving the Malfoy family in a sullen mood, Xiwen hesitated for a long time before finally raising his hand to open a Dimensional Gate and arriving at the gate of the Greengrass family's villa.

Unlike other Pure-blood families that Xiwen had seen, the Greengrass family didn't occupy ostentatious and luxurious estates. Instead, they had only one small villa, standing gracefully amidst lush green grass, giving it a beautiful, natural feel. This scene perfectly reflected the imagery of the Greengrass family name.

Xiwen walked to the gate of the villa courtyard and gently shook the wind chimes in front of the gate.

A melodious wind chime rang out, carried on the gentle breeze, and echoed throughout this beautiful landscape.

A moment later, with a "bang," a House-Elf dressed in a grass skirt appeared at the entrance to the courtyard and bowed slightly to Xiwen.

"Dear Mr. Rozier, I'm sorry, but my mistress asked me to inform you that you are not welcome here." The House-Elf's manners were impeccable, but the words he uttered were not what Xiwen wanted to hear.

Xiwen smiled helplessly, and said to the House-elf with unwavering determination, "Can't you make an exception? I really have something very important to discuss with Mrs. Greengrass."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rozier," the House-Elf said, still polite and gentle. "But Mrs. Greengrass did give instructions that you would not be allowed into the house."

"Alright then, thank you for your trouble." Xiwen shook his head gently and sighed.

He then turned around, preparing to try his luck with other Pure-blood families.

Just then, the solid wood gate of the Greengrass family compound creaked open.

Xiwen turned around in surprise and saw Elshiona, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing barefoot in a lush green field, smiling sweetly at Xiwen.

A blush crept onto her originally pale cheeks, making her look like a blooming pale pink flower amidst the lush green grass.

"Xiwen, what are you still standing there for? Come in quickly!" She waved with a smile, gesturing for Xiwen to enter the Greengrass family's courtyard.

Xiwen paused for a moment, then quickly walked over and asked, "Long time no see, Elshiona. But why are you barefoot? Aren't you cold?"

"It's just barefoot, how could I possibly get cold? I'm not that fragile," Elshiona said nonchalantly. "Besides, how many times have I told you, just call me Elsie!"

"Okay, El." Xiwen smiled gently and said to the lively and lovely little girl, who was as cheerful as ever.

Just then, the House-Elf, looking troubled, trotted up to the two of them and said with difficulty, "Master Elshiona, Lady Greengrass told me that Mr. Rozier cannot be allowed to enter..."

"Who decides, you or me?" Elshiona asked, pouting.

"Of course it's up to you." The House-Elf lowered its head.

"Is there a problem with me changing my mother's arrangement now?" she asked again.

The House-Elf didn't know how to refute it, so it could only remain silent.

Seeing this, Xiwen shook his head and said to Elshiona, "Let's not make things difficult for the House-elf. He's just following orders. If it's too much trouble, I won't go in."

"No way!" Elshiona glared and shouted. "You finally came to see me, how can you just leave like that?"

"But what if we run into your mother? How am I supposed to explain this..." Xiwen said somewhat guiltily.

Just then, a chill seemed to sweep by, causing Xiwen and Elshiona to shiver in the sweltering July heat.

"So you did know you might see me, huh? The renowned leader of the Pure-blood New Faction, Mr. Rozier."

A woman wearing a light green dress walked from the direction of the villa. Her dress almost blended into the green grass on the ground, exuding a vibrant vitality.

However, her expression was not as gentle as her dress; instead, it was frosty as she glared coldly at the two young wizards in the courtyard.
