Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

Jiang Yueming caught a glimpse of the sneer on Jiang Xue and the others' faces out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't think much of it. The status of an adopted son was naturally incomparable to that of noble sons from their families.

If a dog bites you, you can't bite back, can you?

The most important thing right now is to resolve the issue of the son-in-law marriage, as the simulation did not specify exactly when Li Tianyun would appear.

I don't know what kind of situation I'll face once I go inside.

And what is Zhang Yuqian's current situation? In the simulation, she suddenly committed suicide at the wedding, sowing the seeds for his future death.

"We need to remove her weapons before we go in, otherwise she'll always be a threat."

As Jiang Yueming lowered his eyes in deep thought, a hand slowly reached out towards him.

"Who?"

The moment the hand landed on his shoulder, his eyes narrowed, and he instinctively grabbed the person's wrist, almost throwing them over his shoulder.

"It's me, Yueming's cousin," Jiang Wu said, his brows furrowing slightly. The sharp pain in his wrist was driving him crazy as he spoke in a low voice.

Upon recognizing Jiang Wu, Jiang Yueming released his grip, smiled, and said, "Sorry, cousin, I was lost in thought just now, so..."

"It's alright, it ... my fault for being so sudden."

Although Jiang Wu had a smile on his face, he subtly twisted his wrist.

The force he had just felt made his wrist joint ache, and he was surprised.

How could my cousin Yueming have such strength? Logically speaking, his family has never paid much attention to him since he was a child.

The martial arts lineage naturally didn't teach him anything, yet his reaction speed and strength are now comparable to those of the noble sons in his family.

They are even slightly above them!

"Does my cousin have anything to say?"

Jiang Yueming looked at Jiang Wu's calm expression, but a hint of wariness appeared in her eyes.

Jiang Wu glanced around, took out a piece of green jade from his sleeve and placed it in Jiang Yueming's palm, saying, "Cousin, now that you're marrying into the Zhang family, you must learn to be considerate of others."

"Take this jade pendant and offer it to the people you should when you enter the family; perhaps things will be easier for you in the future."

Jiang Yueming felt the icy jade pendant in his hand, and his tone became even more wary as he asked, "Cousin, what do you mean by this?"

He couldn't quite understand Jiang Wu. According to his predecessor's memories, he had no relationship with Jiang Wu whatsoever, and he had even taken away the title of Martial God that rightfully belonged to Jiang Wu.

Now that his behavior is strange and unusual, Jiang Yueming has to be more cautious.

Jiang Wu seemed to know what Jiang Yueming was worried about. He looked around again and lowered his voice even further, saying, "Cousin, please believe me. I have no hostility towards you whatsoever."

"I've never cared about the title of Martial God; you can take it if you want."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming frowned even more deeply and said calmly, "Cousin, I need a reason to believe you."

"Sigh," Jiang Wu sighed softly, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips, "Everyone thinks I'm the pride of the younger generation in my family, but the price I've paid is that I have no choice in the matter."

"You should understand the importance of Saint Sai to the Jiang family, or rather, to Jiang Xuan."

Jiang Xuan looked up at Jiang Yueming, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, you are a pawn in the family head's marriage alliance, but am I not also a pawn in his quest to win the Holy Tournament?"

"We both live in wealthy families and face the same situation, so I can understand your feelings to some extent."

After saying that, Jiang Wu turned and left, showing no intention of staying any longer.

Jiang Yueming closed the jade pendant in her palm, gazed intently at Jiang Wu's departing figure, and smiled slightly.

He didn't completely believe what Jiang Wu said, but no matter what Jiang Wu was up to, the jade pendant was quite valuable, so it wouldn't hurt to keep it for him for the time being.

"Patriarch Zhang has arrived!"

The servant at the door saw a burly man dressed in a black dragon-swallowing-python robe striding in and immediately raised his voice to shout.

The voice reached Jiang Yueming's ears, and he focused his attention on the front.

Jiang Xuan and Zhang Yuan were talking about something there. Judging from the smiles on their faces, they were probably happy about the successful marriage between their families.

After several twists and turns, the marriage was finally settled.

The Jiang family sacrificed Jiang Yueming in exchange for an ally, leaving themselves a way out in case the outcome of next year's Holy Tournament is decided.

The Zhang family didn't have to make any sacrifices. They could completely cure Zhang Yuqian's illness, gain an ally, and have a strong leader for next year's Holy Competition.

In this way, the Zhang family can be said to have achieved three goals at once in this marriage.

From beginning to end, it was only Jiang Yueming who sacrificed himself!

After a brief conversation, Zhang Yuan and Jiang Xuan invited the Jiang family's grooms into the house, and Jiang Yueming naturally followed.

As he stepped through the doorway, he looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a bright red wedding gown slowly walking towards him, supported by her maid.

The woman wasn't wearing a wedding veil, and her angelic face was perfectly displayed, attracting frequent glances from guests from all directions, who whispered words of praise.

Jiang Yueming was also taken aback. The woman in his eyes had exquisite and three-dimensional features, and there was still a hint of heroic and sharpness between her brows. Her delicate red lips were captivating.

Jiang Yueming

A voice as hard as stone rang out, and Jiang Yueming instantly snapped back to reality, only to find Zhang Yuqian, dressed in bright red, already standing before him.

Zhang Yuan gave Jiang Yueming a cold look, placed Zhang Yuqian's delicate hand in his, and said, "According to the rules, you should lead Yuqian across the red mat."

When that soft, boneless little hand touched her palm, Jiang Yueming's body trembled slightly, and a sweet feeling melted in her heart.

He looked up at the red mats that stretched all the way to the main hall, his eyes slightly lowered, and pulled Zhang Yuqian forward.

"Hey, don't use the weapon in your sleeve later. I've thought of a way, but we'll have to wait."

Zhang Yuqian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze shifting to meet Jiang Yueming's resolute profile. She asked softly, "How did you know I had something in my sleeve?"

She had sent Xiao Qing away to put on makeup so that she could conceal a dagger. If she did this in front of Xiao Qing, there was no guarantee that something unexpected wouldn't happen.

But now, she has only just met Jiang Yueming, and he already knows that she has something hidden in her sleeve.

That's really strange.

After a while, Zhang Yuqian did not hear Jiang Yueming's reply, so she took his hand and shook it, signaling him to explain.

Jiang Yueming felt the soft, fragrant warmth of his palm, and her heart skipped a beat. She whispered, "I guessed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuqian secretly pinched Jiang Yueming hard, clearly dissatisfied with his answer.

Guess?

How dare he say such a thing?

Well, since he said he has a way, let's keep the dagger as a backup plan.

If, in the end, Jiang Yueming still marries into the Zhang family, then she will use a dagger to threaten Zhang Yuan with her life, making him swear a blood oath that he will not interfere with her and Jiang Yueming's private life after the marriage.

Given the reputation of the Zhang family in the face of numerous sects and forces, he certainly wouldn't dare to easily go back on his blood oath.

In this way, even if Jiang Yueming marries into the family, as long as he doesn't consummate the marriage, his life can be saved.

"The ceremony is complete!"

While Zhang Yuqian was pondering, she and Jiang Yueming unknowingly walked into the main hall, where the master of ceremonies was standing to the side calling out.

The master of ceremonies beckoned to several maids in blue robes behind him and announced again, "Second ceremony: the couple drinks the wedding banquet wine together."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang erupted outside the hall, as if some powerful being had descended upon them.

"Please wait, gentlemen, I have something to say to you both."

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Yueming immediately turned around, her eyes fixed on the figure slowly walking in from the hall entrance.

Hehe, here I am.
