"Alright, Jiang Yueming, remember what you said!"

Inside the hall, Zhang Yuan accepted Jiang Yueming's offer without hesitation, and then left angrily.

Jiang Yueming's move was undoubtedly giving the Zhang family the green light. As long as Zhang Yuqian's illness could be cured, whether he would marry into the Zhang family or not was none of Zhang Yuan's business.

Zhang Yuan didn't care at all about his marriage into the family; all the Zhang family wanted was to cure Zhang Yuqian's illness.

So that she can participate in the Martial God Tournament next year and win the championship at all costs.

Since Jiang Yueming had already said so, Zhang Yuan was naturally happy to accept it.

"Hey, have you decided which sect in the Imperial Continent you want to lead to the championship?"

When Zhang Yuan left the banquet hall, everyone else naturally followed suit, leaving only Zhang Yuqian and Jiang Yueming in the entire hall.

Zhang Yuqian lowered her beautiful eyes as she pondered how to help Jiang Yueming choose a sect, but having spent the past few years at the border, she knew very little about the forces within the pass besides the three major families, and ultimately could not come up with a clear path.

Jiang Yueming's gaze fell on Zhang Yuqian's slightly furrowed brows, and he chuckled softly, saying, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

"Sigh, you're like this again," Zhang Yuqian said, her red lips slightly pursed, as if she were a little angry.

When Jiang Yueming made that promise with Zhang Yuan for her freedom, she felt as if something deep inside her shattered and scattered into a warm current that nourished her heart.

Now she wanted to do something for the boy in front of her, but he remained confident and composed. Even though she knew she couldn't help him, a faint sadness welled up in her heart.

"Are you leaving the city? Let me see you off."

Zhang Yuqian suddenly realized that both the Jiang and Zhang families were in Pingjing City. If Jiang Yueming wanted to choose a sect, he certainly wouldn't choose one within the city.

After all, most sects that are closer to these two families would not dare to take him in, because taking him in would be tantamount to going against the two families.

The three families of Dizhou naturally hoped that Jiang Yueming would not be able to join any sect, so that the outcome of that agreement would become a foregone conclusion.

"Yes, we do need to leave the city," Jiang Yueming nodded to Zhang Yuqian.

According to the original owner's memories, the entire Holy Dragon Empire was divided into three major empires: Heavenly Mystery, Starfall, and Holy Dragon.

If you want to join a sect, the Li family is located in the Tianji Empire and has a deep influence on sects there, so you can't choose that option.

There are also the Zhang and Jiang families within the Starfall Empire, so you cannot choose a sect here.

Clearly, his only option was to join a sect in the Holy Dragon Empire, where the influence of the three major powers was relatively weaker.

Zhang Yuqian nodded slightly to Jiang Yueming, then lifted her wedding dress with her delicate hand and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go change my clothes and see you off."

"Okay," Jiang Yueming smiled slightly.

As the beautiful figure in her eyes gradually disappeared, Jiang Yueming immediately took off her wedding dress, revealing a black chivalrous outfit.

He knew all along that the wedding wouldn't happen, so he simply wore the wedding dress without taking off all his clothes underneath.

"She's gone, let's begin the simulation."

Jiang Yueming's expression gradually turned solemn, and a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

[10 simulation points consumed, 930 simulation points remaining]

[Simulation in progress...]

On the first day, Zhang Yuqian dropped you off in the suburbs. You faced a fork in the road and chose the left one.

The next day, you were caught up by assassins from the Li family. After a fierce battle, you were ultimately defeated.

You are dead.

[This simulation has ended. The host may choose one of the following three rewards.]

[Advanced to the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm]

[Increase spiritual awareness by 120 points]

[Black Line - God's Perspective 1]

"Holy crap? What on earth is Li Tianyun doing?" Jiang Yueming was stunned as if struck by lightning after learning the simulation results.

The Li family assassins want to kill me?

What good would this do him? What happened to the agreement?

You say one thing to people's faces and another behind their backs, right?

Jiang Yueming blushed and gritted her teeth. Noticing a change in the third item on the panel, she immediately selected the third reward.

In the Holy Dragon Empire, Taoist sects are the best choice for fulfilling your one-year promise.

"The Holy Dragon Empire, Taoism?" Jiang Yueming murmured, pondering from God's perspective.

However, in the original owner's memories, she seemed to have no impression of this Taoist sect, or rather, no impression of the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Hmm? What does this black line mean?"

Jiang Yueming thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a clue. Just as she was about to simulate it again...

He subconsciously looked up and saw a beautiful figure, while a bold and clear voice reached his ears.

"You've changed your clothes, let's go, I'll see you out of town."

Zhang Yuqian wore a light ink-colored brocade dress, her black hair tied in a high ponytail as usual, and her jade-like face still had a few traces of rouge, making her look somewhat charming.

However, the sharp and heroic spirit between her brows remained unchanged, and her slender figure was still as dashing and spirited as ever.

Jiang Yueming coughed lightly, concealing the stunned look in her eyes: "Alright, let's go. You lead the way."

Zhang Yuqian's beautiful eyes suddenly smiled as she took in Jiang Yueming's unnatural behavior. With a light step, she led him away from the lobby.

Jiang Yueming followed behind Zhang Yuqian and slowly walked into the depths of the Zhang family's inner courtyard, where there were many flower beds and potted plants along the way.

Just as he opened his mouth to ask if they had taken the wrong path, a loud neighing of a wild horse rang out, and he knew what was going on.

"Hey, you don't mean you want me to ride a horse out of the city, do you?" Jiang Yueming said, watching Zhang Yuqian stroke a fiery red horse.

Zhang Yuqian untied the horse's reins and said, "Yes, what's wrong? Never ridden a horse before?"

"No, it's just that there's only one horse here. Could it be..." Jiang Yueming stopped abruptly at the end of her sentence.

Whoa!

Zhang Yuqian held the reins with one hand, stepped onto the stirrup with her jade-like feet, and leaped onto the horse. The red-maned horse let out a spirited neigh, as if it were celebrating something.

Jiang Yueming was somewhat surprised by her swift and decisive movements as she mounted the horse. In his previous life, when he went to the horse farm, he had seen many girls mount horses, but none of them were as quick and agile as Zhang Yuqian.

Indeed, women who have been on the battlefield are quite different from flowers grown in a greenhouse.

"Come on, give me your hand."

Zhang Yuqian, on horseback, had her high ponytail swaying gently as she gazed at Jiang Yueming and extended her fair, delicate hand.

"Uh...sigh!" Jiang Yueming hesitated slightly, but still took her hand.

The next moment, he felt a pulling force coming from him, and his body leaped slightly in mid-air and sat steadily on the saddle.

"Come on, hold on tight to my waist, don't fall."

Zhang Yuqian took the initiative to place Jiang Yueming's hand on her beautiful waist, then pulled the reins and uttered a commanding tone.

The red-maned horse trotted out on all fours, carrying Zhang Yuqian and the other person out of the backyard of the Zhang family and turning into the main street.

In Pingjing City, there are naturally roads specifically for horse-drawn carriages, so there's no need to worry about hitting or injuring pedestrians.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yueming's face was slightly flushed on horseback, and the soft, bouncy sensation at her fingertips felt like a fist pounding into cotton.

He felt a little awkward as he held Zhang Yuqian's slender waist tightly. He thought, "If I lower them a little further, it doesn't seem quite right."

Moving it upwards would be even more inappropriate!

But if you don't move, the soft, fragrant touch on your fingers will beat like a drum, making your heart feel numb and tingly.

"Hey Zhang Yuqian, do you really like eating papaya?"

"Papaya? No way, there's no such good life at the border."

Jiang Yueming blinked, then repeated, "So when you were at the border, did you ride horses like this with the male soldiers too?"

"No, they all have their own horses. It's a pity there's only one horse in the backyard, otherwise I could teach you horseback riding."

"Uh, there will be an opportunity, another day, another day."
