Gao Han left Zhongli's house and went to visit Gao's father and mother and told them what had happened today.

Even if he didn't say it, they could find out from other places, which would only add to their worries.

It’s better to explain it to them now.

Gao Han had tried to describe it as simply as possible, but Gao's father and mother still sensed the danger and broke out in cold sweats.

Gao's mother scowled, "That old bastard from the Yuan family actually dared to send someone to assassinate you. Sooner or later, your father and I will never let him go."

Father Gao also said angrily: "Yes, your mother and I will definitely help you get revenge!"

"The more they don't want us to keep the online store open, the more we have to keep it open and put a stop to the Yuan family's plan of monopoly. Since they dare to mess with us, we will pay them back tenfold!" Gao's mother said viciously. When she was forced into a corner, she was capable of resorting to any despicable means.

Father Gao nodded vigorously and asked again in confusion: "But how did they know the place you and Wu Zheng agreed to meet? Did someone leak your whereabouts?"

The first people he suspected were the Jia Fu Master who was working with them, and the group of people under her.

However, before Gao Han could speak, Gao's mother denied it.

"It must be a coincidence. Yuan Zhengshan, that old bastard, can find an opportunity whenever he wants to. Your son doesn't stay in school every day."

Gao Han also nodded, agreeing with Gao's mother's guess, "He suddenly sent someone to kill me this time. It must be that something stimulated him and prompted him to make up his mind."

"Just because we opened an online store, we blocked his way to making money?" Gao's father asked puzzledly.

Gao's mother shook her head. "There must be other reasons. Why not ask someone about it?"

"It's Wu Zheng." At this time, Zhongli Tingzhou walked in.

Gao Han raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised that he was here. "What does it have to do with Wu Zheng? And how did you know?"

It was not the first time that Gao's father and mother had seen Zhongli Tingzhou, but it was the first time they saw Zhongli Tingzhou in white. They could tell the difference in his temperament at a glance, but neither of them was in a hurry to ask.

Zhongli Tingzhou remained calm, "Because Wu Zheng's company was formerly the largest and most powerful mercenary group in China, Ruby. Later, they established a company and switched to selling refining materials, and the majority of them were materials from the main disaster areas."

"What does this have to do with the Yuan family?"

"Although Ruby has changed their business, they still have connections with mercenary groups in various places. In addition to the materials their company obtained by their own people in the main disaster areas, most of them were purchased from cooperating mercenary groups."

"Mercenaries are not only united, but also loyal. Even if the Yuan family is willing to buy it at a high price, they are unwilling to sell it. Even if there are some who are tempted, they will eventually be banned and excluded by the mercenary world. No mercenary group is willing to do so."

"However, it is only for the benefit of several major mercenary groups to unite and cooperate. Ruby did a good job in this regard."

Gao Han understood, "You mean, Wu Zheng's company was invested by several major mercenary groups?"

"It should be said that they have acquired shares. This is the real reason why they will not betray Ruby." Gao's mother understands this better than Gao Han.

Zhongli Tingzhou nodded, "Yes, Wu Zheng is the grandson of the Ruby Leader. He has the right of inheritance and some decision-making power. The Yuan family wanted to start with Wu Zheng, but they didn't expect you to get there first."

The Yuan family spent a lot of money to collect many talismans from all over the place, and deliberately monopolized the high-level talismans. One of their purposes was for Wu Zheng. Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng fell into Gao's mother's trap early on and couldn't extricate himself.

Now Wu Zheng has been recommended to Gao Han by Gao's mother. With the mother and son joining forces, it will be impossible for Wu Zheng to cooperate with the Yuan family anymore.

The Yuan family's grand plan was cut short right at the beginning.

It is understandable that Yuan Zhengshan would be so angry that he would ask the two old men to deal with Gao Han.

"Mom and Dad, you have to be careful recently. Yuan Zhengshan will not give up even if his plan fails. As long as you stay in the military compound, they will not dare to come." Gao Han warned.

Gao's father and mother nodded and said, "You should also be careful and try not to go out unless necessary. Let Wu Zheng go to the school to find you next time."

Gao Han said, "I will. I'll go back to school first."

Gao's mother said, "Let Tingzhou go back with you. I'm worried about you being alone."

Gao Han said yes, and then left with Zhongli Tingzhou.

As soon as they left, Father Gao frowned and said, "Lan Qing, what's wrong with this Xiaozhou? Why is he so cold? He was so enthusiastic towards us before. Could it be that he thinks that he will not be nice to us anymore after he has caught our son?"

Mother Gao glanced at Father Gao, who was even more sensitive than her in this aspect. It would have been great if this level of sensitivity was present in normal times.

"That shouldn't be possible. Didn't you see that your son's reaction was very calm? If he really didn't treat us well, your son wouldn't have continued to be with him. There must be other reasons."

Father Gao let out an "oh".

"Don't worry about it for now. The Yuan family dared to touch our son. We can't just let this matter go." Gao's mother narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the attitude of temporarily letting go of it just now was for Gao Han to see.

When it comes to something related to his son, Gao's father is unequivocal, "That's right, but how are we going to deal with the Yuan family?"

Gao's mother sneered, "Isn't the Yuan family trying to monopolize the market for superior talismans? Take out the spirit beads your son gave you. I'll make them pay for the overtime you've been working on recently. Also, try the top-level talismans recently. If you can really draw them, we can not only make the Yuan family pay, but also make them cry!"

Father Gao only followed Mother Gao's lead and said, "I will do whatever you say."

The way back to school was calm.

Because of the assassination attempt on Gao Han by Mo Ling's men and Yuan Zhengshan's thugs, the imperial capital was under martial law that day and all efforts were made to track down the murderer.

Penglai University, which is filled with the best students from across the country, is still bustling with activity three days after the opening of the school.

Whether they were in the first or second grade, they all began to challenge those ranked ahead of them.

After the school system changed, not everyone was willing to wait two months before taking the challenge.

First of all, it wastes time, and secondly, it is not good for your mentality.

When practicing, you must forge ahead courageously, dare to fight against the heavens, and dare to compete with others. If you are timid in doing anything, it will be difficult to achieve great things, and your future path to becoming an immortal will also come to a halt.

This is how most tutors at Penglai University teach their students. Plus, the system has just been reformed, so this is the first time that it has been so lively right after the start of the school year.

In September, the lush green leaves gradually turn yellow and fall like catkins on every path in the campus.

From time to time, students ran by with the vigor and vitality of teenagers.

"Have you heard that the madman who was promoted to the third grade right after entering school is ready to challenge the senior just three days after the start of school."

"How can this person be so awesome? The third-year ranking is of little use except for a few more resources. Seniors rarely challenge it at the beginning of the school year."

"So they are not doing it for the ranking at all. It is said that they just want to prove themselves."

"Prove what? Strength?"

"Doesn't the teacher often talk about the heart of cultivation? Maybe that's what he's thinking."

"It would be fine if we win, but if we lose, it would be embarrassing."

"Who cares? Let's just go and take a look. Maybe he really won. I heard that he challenged Senior Zhou who was ranked tenth."

"This is the real arrogance. He challenges the tenth place right from the start. No one is as bold as him."

Several students ran past Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou while talking.

"Don't you want to go and take a look?" Zhongli Tingzhou saw him turning around and about to leave.

Gao Han turned around and asked, "Why do you want to see it?"

Zhongli Tingzhou said: "Since he wants to challenge the top-ranked people, and you are the first, if I am not mistaken, he should be planning to break through himself through constant challenges. It may be related to his way of training, so you will meet sooner or later."

Gao Han said indifferently: "Then we'll talk about it later, but how do you know this?"

He glanced at Zhongli Tingzhou. He had always thought that Zhongli Tingzhou was oblivious to what was happening outside, but today his understanding of him was refreshed. Was he really a fairy who had descended to the mortal world?

Zhongli Tingzhou had a blank expression on his face. "I guessed."

Gao Han glanced at him again and said, "I forgot to ask you before, do your eyes only turn red when you are emotional?"

If that's the case, how did he become Zhongli in black before? Considering Zhongli in white's desireless state of mind, it's hard to imagine him getting emotional.

Zhongli Tingzhou didn't seem to like this topic very much and was not very enthusiastic about answering it.

Just as Gao Han was trying to pry some information out of him, Ma Zechao caught up with him from behind.

"Brother Han, you are here, someone is looking for you at the school gate!"

Gao Han was not angry when his train of thought was interrupted. He turned around and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Ma Zechao said, "It's a woman who looks to be in her thirties. She's pretty. She said she's your aunt, Yuan Yuxian. I didn't want to speak for her because the people in the Yuan family aren't good people. But she said that if I told you, you would definitely meet her."

Dear aunt? This sentence has a deep meaning.

"Do you know who Yuan Yuxian is?" Gao Han turned to Zhongli Tingzhou.

Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "She should be your father's half-sister. After Yuan Zhengrong was expelled from the Yuan family, their branch also fell silent. Her visit to you may be related to what happened this morning. If you want to know the answer, you can go see her."

Gao Han hummed, "Then I'll go take a look."

As soon as he left, Zhongli Tingzhou followed him in silence.

Ma Zechao always felt that there was something strange between them, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He also wanted to know why the Yuan family was looking for Brother Han, so he followed them.

What if they are here to cause trouble? There is strength in numbers, but when they get there, they find that they have nothing to do with it at all.

When Gao Han saw Yuan Yuxian, he knew why she was his biological aunt, because their eyebrows and eyes were surprisingly 60% similar.

People who knew that they were aunt and niece would never doubt them as long as they saw their appearance.

Gao Han had never seen his grandmother who passed away young, but from Yuan Yuxian's appearance, he could tell that both the brother and sister resembled his grandmother who passed away young.

"You are Xiaohan, right? Can we find a place to talk?" Yuan Yuxian showed a gentle smile on her face without a trace of disguise.
