Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"Jiang Yueming, you're so cunning!"

Zhang Yuan's gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Yueming, but a sense of fear rose in his heart.

He had thought the wedding had gone too smoothly; Jiang Yueming hadn't shown any sign of resistance from beginning to end.

It turns out he was waiting for Li Tianyun!

With Li Tianyun involved, the wedding banquet was destined to become troublesome.

The situation could become extremely dire, and all of this was arranged in advance by Jiang Yueming!

Jiang Xuan's face twitched, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.

The feeling Jiang Yueming gave him was completely different from before he entered the Heavenly Thunder Illusion.

Jiang Yueming now seems like a tranquil lake, seemingly calm on the surface, but unfathomable in reality, making him impossible to understand!

What exactly did he do in the Heavenly Thunder Illusion? Why did things change so drastically?

A sense of doubt quietly grew in Jiang Xuan's heart, and his apprehension towards Jiang Yueming deepened.

"Jiang Yueming, what exactly do you want?" Li Tianyun asked with a serious look in his eyes.

Jiang Yueming raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, smiled, and said, "Actually, I don't want to do anything either. The fundamental conflict between your three families lies in next year's Martial God competition."

"How about this, let's postpone the wedding for a year. If I lead another sect to win the Martial God Championship a year later, then this marriage will be annulled."

"Do you agree or not?"

In any case, Jiang Xuan will expel him from the family sooner or later in the simulation, so he might as well take the initiative now to avoid being ridiculed again later.

Moreover, he has a simulation cheat; there's always a way out, and there must be a path to success in the simulation.

Because he had a cheat code, he spoke with confidence.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked, and their gazes fell on Jiang Yueming once again.

"No way, did I hear that right? He said he's going to lead another sect to victory?"

"Is he insane? Which sect in the Imperial State is stronger than the three? Even if he led the Jiang family, he might not win the championship, let alone other sects?"

"Wait! Could this be a delaying tactic? He might still have a backup plan. After all, this is the first time I've seen someone who can intimidate three families at the same time."

The whispers around her were as faint as mosquitoes buzzing, but Jiang Yueming didn't pay them any mind and waited quietly for the three people in front of her to answer.

"Hey, you're not serious, are you?" Zhang Yuqian tugged at Jiang Yueming's clothes and whispered.

There was a hint of worry on her beautiful face. Although she had been at the border for the past few years, she didn't know much about the power dynamics within the Imperial State.

But she was well aware that the three sects were undoubtedly the most likely to win the championship next year.

But now Jiang Yueming wants to lead another sect to win the championship, and the success rate is probably extremely slim.

Jiang Yueming noticed the worry on Zhang Yuqian's delicate eyebrows and whispered, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay," Zhang Yuqian lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before gently responding to Jiang Yueming.

Fine, you can have it this time.

Even if you fail to do so a year later, I should have already emerged from the Bloodlust King Realm and be able to control my own destiny, personally ending this marriage.

Of course, if I manage to get out of here alive.

Even if they don't come out alive, it's still a good thing for Jiang Yueming. The alliance between the two families based on marriage cannot be completed without one of them.

"Patriarch Li, what do you think of what I said?" Jiang Yueming asked Li Tianyun.

He held a significant share of the power in the room. As long as Li Tianyun and Jiang Yueming were on the same side, dealing with Jiang Xuan and Zhang Yuan would be a piece of cake.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, Li Tianyun finally smiled and said, "Okay, I agree with your approach, but I have one request."

"Oh? What are your requirements?"

A deep smile suddenly appeared on Li Tianyun's lips as he said calmly, "If you don't win the championship in a year, then you must marry into my Li family and marry my daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming's expression immediately froze, and she couldn't help but admire Li Tianyun in her heart.

What he did was truly ruthless; by bringing himself into the Li family, he was essentially dismantling the Zhangjiang Alliance.

Or rather, the Zhangjiang Alliance has lost its foundation. If Zhang Yuqian were to unfortunately perish during this time, it would be a double blessing for the Li family.

The loss of the Zhang family's prodigy from the Imperial State was a huge blow to the family, especially to Zhang Yuan, since Zhang Yuqian was his only child.

"Then I'll make a request too. If you don't win the championship in a year, then you should marry both of the noble ladies from both families," Jiang Xuan suddenly said.

His voice was filled with unwavering determination; he knew that the Zhang family had agreed to the alliance entirely because they wanted to cure Zhang Yuqian's illness.

As long as Jiang Yueming can consummate his marriage with Zhang Yuqian, it doesn't matter whose family he marries into. Besides, that medicine technique can kill him instantly.

What difference would it make if the Li family were left with a corpse by then?

"Uh..." Jiang Yueming looked bitter and was at a loss for words.

Are both families getting their daughters married off?

In other words, if he doesn't win the championship a year later, he will have to marry two beautiful wives at the same time.

Who in their right mind would even care about winning a championship?

However, all these predestined connections are of no use to him now, and are an unforgivable taboo in his heart...

"Jiang Yueming, do you agree or not?" Li Tianyun seemed unwilling to give Jiang Yueming another chance to think, and asked urgently.

He didn't see anything wrong with Jiang Xuan's request; on the contrary, he saw it as an opportunity—an opportunity to trap Zhang Yuqian in the Li family forever!

Inside the hall, Li Tianyun and the other two stared intently at Jiang Yueming, waiting for him to make his final decision.

After a long pause, Jiang Yueming finally nodded to Li Tianyun, but a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

Once you agree, there's no turning back; you have to fight with everything you have to win the championship.

"Jiang Yueming, a year from now, I'll be waiting for you at the Li family home."

Seeing Jiang Yueming nod in agreement, Li Tianyun unconsciously raised the corners of his lips and strode towards the door.

Jiang Xuan watched Li Tianyun's figure disappear until it vanished, then turned to Jiang Yueming and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Jiang Yueming, are you satisfied now? From today onwards, you are expelled from the Jiang family!"

After saying that, he angrily turned and left.

"Jiang Yueming, how could you do such a foolish thing!" Zhang Yuan said angrily as he watched Jiang Xuan leave the banquet.

Today's wedding banquet not only made the Zhang family lose face, but they also made that childish agreement with Li Tianyun!

Even a fool in the entire Imperial Continent could see that only the three major powers could win the championship. Throughout history, no sect other than the three major powers has ever won the championship!

Now Jiang Yueming actually dares to say that he will lead all forces except the three families to win the championship. What's the difference between this and an ant trying to shake a tree?

"Father-in-law, it seems you don't trust your son-in-law," Jiang Yueming said with a shrewd glint in his eyes.

The angrier Zhang Yuan got, the happier he became. Making Zhang Yuan's plan fail completely was exactly what he wanted.

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Zhang Yuan's anger flared even more. He sneered, "Jiang Yueming, shut your mouth! I'm afraid my father-in-law can't stand such a scheming son-in-law!"

"Hehe," Jiang Yueming couldn't help but smile, and said, "How about this, I'll make another unilateral agreement with you."

"If I don't win the championship a year from now, I will cure Zhang Yuqian's illness before marrying into the Li family."

"If I win the championship, from now on you have no right to interfere with her freedom! How about it?"
