The Yuan family's trillion-dollar assets are calculated based on market value. No one would keep 200 billion in cash in their own account.

In order to pay the fine, the Yuan family had to sell a lot of real estate.

Yuan Zhengshan was unwilling to touch the Yuan family's share of the weapon refining market, so in addition to selling real estate such as houses and land, he also sold magical weapons, spiritual weapons, and talisman paper, but these were simply not enough.

In particular, knowing that the Yuan family was trying to raise money to pay the fine, many buyers began to take advantage of the situation.

Just like the Yuan family had once sold them their own magical weapons at a high price, this time they also asked the Yuan family to sell them at a low price, otherwise they would not buy them.

Everyone united and made Yuan Zhengshan so angry that he vomited blood.

At that time, after Yuan Zhengzhi was taken to the military headquarters to report, he was taken to City No. 2 to serve the next day.

The situation has been tense since City No. 2 faced a heavy blow.

City No. 1 had just experienced a great war not long ago, but according to recent war reports, mutant creatures are said to be stirring again.

Grandpa Zhongli received news that there has been frequent activity deep in the main disaster area recently, and it is estimated that a bigger conspiracy will be brewing soon, so everyone should be prepared.

Under normal circumstances, the first city attacked by the mutant creatures should be City No. 2, because City No. 2 had just experienced heavy losses and was seriously lacking in combat power.

However, they may also think that humans will send more powerful people to City No. 2. After this attack, humans can no longer underestimate these intelligent advanced mutant creatures.

…

Gao Han hasn't been living in the school villa recently, and has been staying in the courtyard every day.

Zhongli Tingzhou seemed to have taken root there and refused to leave.

Gao's mother and Yuan Tianping, who usually had nothing to do except reading or sleeping, secretly looked for him several times and asked Zhongli Tingzhou when he would return home.

"It's not that we don't have room for him at home. If he wants to live here, let him stay." Gao Han didn't realize what the two elders meant and replied to them indifferently with this sentence.

Gao's mother was very disappointed with her son. He was very smart in other aspects, but he was so stupid in this aspect.

Yuan Tianping is not good at speaking and doesn't know how to describe him.

Gao's mother had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and join the battle. She couldn't count on the men in the family now, as the other one was locked in the room drawing talismans.

"What I meant to your grandfather is that you two are not married yet, so it's not good for you to sleep together like this."

Gao Han was stunned for a moment, and finally understood, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's okay, he usually sleeps on the floor."

It was Gao's mother and Yuan Tianping's turn to be stunned. "Sleep, sleep on the floor?"

Gao Han nodded, "This is my request for him to sleep with me."

"Haven't you guys done that yet?" No matter how tough Gao's mother was, she didn't have the nerve to say those two words.

Gao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, he has the intention but he doesn't have the guts to do it."

Mother Gao was half-believing and half-doubting. Zhongli Tingzhou looked like the kind of person who would force himself on someone.

Gao Han looked serious, although it was a bit inconsistent with the idea of ​​having lustful intentions but not the courage to do it, but now it seemed to him that this was pretty much what he meant.

"Okay." After that, Gao's mother looked at Zhongli Tingzhou with a strange look.

One day, Zhongli Tingzhou couldn't help but ask Gao Han, "What do mom and grandpa mean? Why are they looking at me the same way they looked at Changze before?"

"Probably because you are a family." Gao Han replied perfunctorily.

Zhongli Tingzhou stared at him, "Don't think I can't see it, are you trying to fool me?"

Gao Han glanced at him and said, "Since you knew it, why did you expose it and embarrass yourself?"

Zhongli Tingzhou: "..."

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Gao Han asked again: "Your eyes are getting redder and redder. Are you going to change back to being a light-veined spirit? I have never understood why this is happening."

Different personalities have different spirits.

Zhongli Tingzhou shrugged, "I've tried my best to eat White Rabbit candy, but if you eat too much, you'll get sick of it."

"For my sake, can't you just bear with it?" Gao Han said.

Zhongli Tingzhou smiled immediately, revealing a mysterious smile, "Okay~"

The tail sound of the wave gave Gao Han goose bumps on his arms.

"By the way, I plan to go to the main disaster area for some training soon. It would be great if I could take this opportunity to find out the origin of the black crystal fragments."

Zhongli Tingzhou immediately frowned, "Can't you wait for me?"

Gao Han said: "I can't help it. It's your own fault."

Zhongli Tingzhou snorted and puffed out his chest, "If I don't live up to expectations, is there anyone else in this world who can live up to expectations?"

"Sima Ye is quite ambitious. I heard that he worked hard this time and broke through to the lower first level." Gao Han said.

Zhongli Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and warned him secretly: "It's not a good habit to praise other men in front of your boyfriend."

Gao Han rolled his eyes and said, "Go away."

"I won't leave. I won't leave." Zhongli Tingzhou started to play tricks.

Gao Han no longer wanted to pay attention to him.

The elders who saw how the two got along were all silent. It seemed that their son/grandson did not suffer much from this relationship.

The next day, Gao Han went to find the head of the Zhongli family without bringing Zhongli Tingzhou. There was something that needed to be clarified.

"Why do you come alone? Where is Tingzhou?" Patriarch Zhongli looked behind him.

"He didn't come. I came to see you on my own." Gao Han said frankly.

Patriarch Zhongli immediately showed an understanding expression, "Do you want to ask about Tingzhou?"

"Brother is worthy of being the head of the family." Gao Han smiled.

The head of the Zhongli family coughed lightly and said, "Forget about the title of head of the family. In our family, the head of the family is the one that our ancestors ride on top of."

Gao Han showed a puzzled expression.

Patriarch Zhongli did not explain, as it was related to the dignity of the patriarch. "What do you want to ask Tingzhou? Tell me. I will tell you what I know."

"Then I won't be polite. I want to know what happened to him when he was a child. Why did he split into two personalities? And why are the spirits of the two personalities as clearly separated as the Chu River and Han River? They are the same individual, aren't they? Also, what's going on with Tingzhou's mother? He doesn't seem to like his mother very much." Gao Han bluntly threw out the questions he wanted to ask most.

"That's because he doesn't know that he has lost his memory, or in other words, he doesn't know that his memory has been tampered with." Patriarch Zhongli said with a sigh.

There was no surprise in Gao Han's eyes. There really was a secret here. His guess was right. This was something that even Zhongli Tingzhou himself didn't know. Suddenly, he had a guess.

"Do you mean that Tingzhou's memory was changed by his mother?"

Patriarch Zhongli nodded and said, "Mother is a person with a special physique. Not only is her spirit different from others, but she cannot be cultivated. However, she can change a person's spirit, but the prerequisite is to sacrifice her own life. After all, this is an act against heaven.

Tingzhou was born with a black-veined spirit body, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast. At that time, this was done to protect him when he was still young.

We have not released his information to the public, but what we didn't expect was that he would suddenly show the characteristics of a light vein spirit when he was over two years old.

These two kinds of spirits are incompatible.

The two of them were fighting each other inside his body, and no matter which side overwhelmed the other, it would threaten Tingzhou's life.

From the time he was two to three years old, he was so weak that he had to stay in bed. "

Having said that, Patriarch Zhongli sighed again.

"The mother couldn't bear to see Tingzhou, who was only two years old, lying in bed forever, so she begged the father to let her save him. The father disagreed at first, thinking that changing fate was extremely risky, but he couldn't resist the mother's pleading.

However, if my father knew at the time that the method my mother proposed would cost her life, he probably would not have agreed. "

"Did the old lady deceive the old man?" Gao Han asked.

"Yes, my mother knew that my father would not agree to the life-for-life method, but she was afraid that she could not deceive my father, so she only said there was a 40% chance."

Old Madam Zhongli is indeed very smart. Although she abandoned her husband and other children, it cannot be said that she did anything wrong.

Any mother can sacrifice her life for her children without hesitation.

Patriarch Zhongli continued, "Later, my mother exchanged her life for his and successfully changed Tingzhou's spirit, allowing the two spirits to coexist peacefully in Tingzhou's body."

Gao Han discovered a loophole. "Since they are coexisting peacefully, it is impossible that Tingzhou did not notice something wrong. Why would he think that the spirit split along with the personality?"

Patriarch Zhongli laughed, "Do you really think he doesn't know? He may know, but he may not have proven it yet.

No matter whether it is the black vein spirit body or the light vein spirit body, both are more special than the five elements spirit body. If you practice well, you can become more powerful than ordinary people.

What he meant by not knowing might be that he was just too lazy to find out the truth.

This also involves his mother's tampering with his memory, which we didn't know about at the beginning."

Patriarch Zhongli was filled with emotion, "Mother is too gentle, she didn't want Tingzhou to know that his mother died to save him after he grew up, so she deliberately changed his memory.

The reason why she wanted Tingzhou to hate her was that she didn't want him to blame himself, nor did she want him to question his father when he grew up and bring up everyone's sad stories.

My mother did not discuss this with my father. She changed my memory on her own initiative. We only found out about this when we talked to Tingzhou later."

Gao Han was silent for a moment. "The old lady is great, but I still think that she shouldn't change Tingzhou's memory. She should be remembered. Tingzhou is not someone who can't stand the blow. He should have the right to make his own choice."

Patriarch Zhongli smiled and said, "Do you know why my father stayed in City No. 1 for decades?"

Gao Han thought to himself, could this be related to Old Madam Zhongli?

“Because my mother’s last words were for my father to scatter her ashes near City No. 1.

In her lifetime, she could not see the main disaster area being pacified. She hoped that she would be able to see it one day after her death. Therefore, in order to fulfill her mother's last dream, her father settled down in City No. 1 and never returned to the imperial capital. "

Thinking of the past, Patriarch Zhongli sighed heavily again, "I was afraid that my father would be too lonely in City No. 1, so I asked Changqing to accompany him. Fortunately, Changqing has never let me down."

"Why didn't you tell Tingzhou about these things?" Gao Han asked.

Patriarch Zhongli smiled and shook his head. "Since mother doesn't want him to know, we won't let her efforts go to waste. Of course, this secret won't remain a secret forever. We all believe that one day, there will be an opportunity for him to know. And now, you appear."

Gao Han couldn't curl his lips. The people from Zhongli's family once again surprised him.

After returning to the courtyard, he told Zhongli Tingzhou about this.

"I'm going to City No. 1 for training in the next two days. Do you want to go?"

Zhongli Tingzhou was still trying to savor the feeling of suddenly knowing that there was something wrong with his life experience. Less than half a minute later, he threw out another question, dissatisfied: "Don't you want to ask me what I think?"

Gao Han said indifferently: "Okay, then what do you think?"

Zhongli Tingzhou was dissatisfied again, "You are so insincere. I feel like you are just trying to please me."

Gao Han was silent for a moment, "Are you sure you want me to answer?"

"Forget it, you will definitely say again, since I know this, why should I say it out loud and hurt myself." Zhongli Tingzhou waved his hands tiredly.

"Then why are you wasting time? Let's set off tomorrow morning." Gao Han turned around and smiled. He really didn't need his own comfort. If he needed someone to comfort him, he would not be Zhongli Tingzhou.
