"Then I'll take my leave."

After receiving Jiang Xuan's affirmative answer, Zhang Yuan turned around, his burly body glancing at Jiang Yueming intentionally or unintentionally, before striding away.

"Master Zhang, take care." Jiang Xuan glanced at Zhang Yuan in the distance, then turned and left the square.

The alliance between the Jiang and Zhang families was now a foregone conclusion.

Zhang Yuqian was concerned about the war situation on the border and the safety of the people of Dizhou. She was determined to stop the marriage between the two families so as not to provoke the Li family and cause them to turn against each other.

This allowed foreign tribes on the border to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

But now, all her resistance seems to be futile and ineffective.

Jiang Yueming's predecessor did not want to die in vain, so she opposed marrying into the family, but the attempt failed.

Jiang Yueming also doesn't want to die, but after several twists and turns, she still can't change the situation of marrying into the family.

"Sigh, Jiang Yueming should have just settled in properly as a son-in-law, why did he always have to go against the head of the family? Now he's suffering the consequences."

"Yes, as the saying goes, 'To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death,' and Zhang Yuqian is a rare beauty. Even one night with her would be a bargain. Why did Jiang Yueming refuse?"

"More than that, I'm concerned about what Zhang Yuqian said. After all, she has served in the army on the border for many years. According to her, perhaps the Imperial State will soon face a major war."

"Yes, the alien races over there have been eyeing the Imperial State for hundreds of years. We really need to be fully prepared."

The voices of the disciples discussing the matter from the pavilion above the square were all heard up to them.

Jiang Xue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her arms crossed and her eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiang Haoheng's face was also dark at this moment, and he fell silent, which was rare for him.

"Regardless of the border conflict, the most important thing right now is the safety of our family. If the Li family wins the championship, the Jiang family will be its first target for destruction!"

The atmosphere in the attic had been quiet for a long time before it was finally broken by Jiang Hui.

His gaze sharpened, and he closed the ink-painted landscape fan in his palm with his five fingers, saying, "The marriage alliance with the Zhang family is both a last resort and an inevitability; none of us can change it."

If the Li family hadn't had that important person's help, the three powers in the Imperial State could have maintained a balance for the time being, and wouldn't have been in such a hurry to form an alliance.

Unfortunately, it was all too late. After that important person arrived, the Li family's overall strength increased dramatically, forcing the Jiang family to cooperate with the Zhang family.

This is the helplessness.

Furthermore, even without that person's presence, given the Li family's current momentum, they will inevitably surpass the Jiang family sooner or later. Therefore, it's only a matter of time before the Jiang and Zhang families join forces.

This is inevitable.

Among these two alliances, the ones who suffered the most were Jiang Yueming and Zhang Yuqian, who stood in the center of the square.

Actually, they were somewhat relieved. If Jiang Yueming's blood hadn't been of use to the Zhang family, they might have sent one of their disciples to marry into the family.

Throughout history, marrying into another's family has been considered a disgrace.

Not only did she suffer cold looks and abuse in her husband's family, but she also had to endure gossip and rumors from everyone.

"Very well, but I hope the three families will consider other factors. If a full-scale war breaks out, I'm afraid the people of the Imperial State will not live in peace," Jiang Xue suddenly stretched out her jade finger and rubbed her throbbing brow, saying calmly.

She clearly agreed with Jiang Hui's statement, but she also felt that the Imperial State was about to face an unprecedented war, a war that might involve more than just the three families.

on the square.

Zhang Yuqian, wearing black leather combat boots, strode quickly towards Jiang Yueming. She noticed that he was breathing heavily and his eyes were filled with cold, stinging pain.

She didn't even notice his expression.

"Jiang Yueming, how are you? Are you alright?"

Jiang Yueming stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and chuckled, "I'm fine. My father-in-law didn't really hurt me; he was just playing around, hahaha."

Father-in-law?!

Zhang Yuqian reached out her delicate hand to check Jiang Yueming's physical condition, but stopped abruptly upon hearing this.

She was taken aback at first, and then her cheeks flushed red. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

How could he say such a thing in public? Although she herself is straightforward and outspoken, she doesn't care too much, but in the end, these words do him no good at all. On the contrary, outsiders will think that he is trying to climb the social ladder.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Jiang Yueming smiled and said, "You should go back first. I'll take care of everything. This marriage won't amount to anything."

He dares to speak like that, and he has the confidence to do so.

Because he has an emulator, as the saying goes, when in doubt, you can ask a cheat!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuqian lowered her eyes for a moment, suppressing her blush, and withdrew her small hand, turning her beautiful leg slightly as she prepared to leave.

On her way away, she seemed to suddenly understand something, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

She suddenly understood Jiang Yueming's intention in calling his father-in-law.

He probably didn't want to worry himself...

Despite his severe injuries, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

As her thoughts drifted to this point, she paused slightly, pursed her red lips, and tilted her head slightly until the blurry figure of the young man came into view.

But she forced herself to endure it, her heart clenched, and then she left Jiang Family Square with firm steps.

puff!

As Jiang Yueming watched Zhang Yuqian's figure completely disappear into the horizon, the blood he had been holding back for so long finally gushed from his mouth, splattering all over the ground.

"Uh... this father-in-law is really ruthless; that move almost seemed like he intended to kill me."

Jiang Yueming's expression darkened slightly, and with a thought, he activated the simulation.

[10 simulation points consumed, 970 simulation points remaining]

On the first day, you followed the expected path and married into the Zhang family. Zhang Yuqian asked you if you had any solutions, but you shook your head and remained silent. Afterward, you went through the wedding ceremony. Zhang Yuqian knew you would die on your wedding night, so she did not enjoy the happiness with you.

The next day, Zhang Yuan forced Zhang Yuqian to consummate the marriage, but she still refused. Left with no other option, Zhang Yuan drugged you. That night, the drug took effect, and you couldn't bear the loneliness.

On the third day, you wake up to find Zhang Yuqian lying exhausted in bed. Her beauty deeply stuns you. Suddenly, you lean down and can't help but kiss her soft, white lips, a familiar feeling washing over you.

On the fourth day, seeing that his previous attempt had failed, Zhang Yuan first knocked Zhang Yuqian unconscious, and then repeated his plan on that happy night.

You are dead.

[This simulation has ended. Please choose one of the following three rewards.]

[Advanced to the late stage of the Void Soul Realm]

[Increase spiritual awareness by 95 points]

[One Spirit Cultivation Pill]

"I've chosen to cultivate elixirs."

Jiang Yueming glanced at the panel and selected the third option without hesitation.

The Spirit Cultivation Pill is a high-level healing pill. He was injured by Zhang Yuan and urgently needs this pill right now.

call out!

As soon as Jiang Yueming finished speaking, the spiritual energy in the void in front of him stirred slightly, and specks of light rapidly condensed, forming a crystal blue immortal pill.

After the light completely dissipated, he reached out, took the round pill, and put it in his mouth. Instantly, a warm current flowed through his body, repairing the damage to his internal organs and nourishing his meridians.

"System, continue simulation."

Jiang Yueming snapped out of her reverie and spoke up.

He knew the situation was extremely dire; if he couldn't find a way out in the simulation, he might perish here.

[10 simulation points consumed, current simulation points: 960]

On your first day, as you were marrying into the Zhang family and were in the process of your wedding ceremony with Zhang Yuqian, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and committed suicide on the spot, ending the marriage with her life.

[Zhang Yuan was furious and killed you with a single blow in the wedding hall.]

You are dead.

"That can't be right. How could I have died before I slept with Zhang Yuqian and helped her resolve her hidden ailment? And why was I beaten to death by Zhang Yuan?"

Jiang Yueming was speechless for a moment.

It seems this system really has some problems...
