One person: Everything I use is forbidden.

Chapter 482 The Dragon-Trapping Formation!
Thirty seconds!
Wang Ming only appeared for thirty seconds before easily defeating Zhang Ren.

He flicked his hand dismissively, and a spark exploded in the air, turning into thousands of points of light that fell to the ground.

Zhang Ren collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

If Wang Ming hadn't respected the rules of the Heroes' Gathering and not harmed the challengers, Zhang Ren would surely be dead here today.

Seeing that Pang Tong had held back, Ning Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Liu Zhang was her ally, and if Liu Zhang's men died like this, she would probably go berserk.

It's really hard to say what will happen then.

Ning Xiaoxiao waved her hand, ordering someone to take Zhang Ren away. Liu Zhang never appeared from beginning to end.

Luo Xiaoye jumped in front of Wang Ming, looked up at the somewhat roguish Wang Ming, and gave him a big smile.

"Hello Mr. Pang Tong, welcome to our big family!"

As she spoke, Luo Xiaoye reached out her hand to welcome Pang Tong.

In her view, Pang Tong's willingness to appear at the gathering of heroes, especially when their camp was being challenged, already spoke volumes.

Wang Ming looked at Luo Xiaoye, who was smiling broadly in front of him, and simply shook his head.

"I'm just here to accept Zhang Ren's challenge; I never said I wanted to join the Shu Han camp."

As he spoke, Wang Ming glanced at Zhuge Liang.

Pang Tong admired Zhuge Liang deeply, but he didn't share that sentiment.

Even if Pang Tong didn't tell him anything, he could probably guess that Zhuge Liang was doing something big.

It is essential to keep your distance from such highly intelligent and important figures.

While he was pondering, Zhuge Liang had already placed his hand on Wang Ming's shoulder.

"Shiyuan, don't be so heartless. Our lord has invited you so sincerely, so why don't you join us?"

Wang Ming's lips twitched. He knew Zhuge Liang's age, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so good at pretending to be young.

However, to be fair, Zhuge Liang does look quite young now.

"I'm sorry, Kongming, I don't have any plans to join a faction at the moment."

Wang Ming shook his head, then looked towards the Eastern Wu direction in the stands. "Besides, I could barely be considered a member of the Eastern Wu camp, right?"

Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, Pang Tong had always been a member of the Eastern Wu camp.

During the Battle of Red Cliffs, Pang Tong also contributed his efforts to burning Cao Cao's army.

However, later on, Sun Quan disliked him because of his ugliness and treated him with contempt, so he left Eastern Wu and went to join Liu Bei.

Therefore, Pang Tong could even be considered a member of three families.

Upon hearing Pang Tong mention Eastern Wu, Zhang Fei immediately became uneasy.

"Does the gentleman think that Eastern Wu is better than us?"

Zhang Fei knew he was in trouble the moment he uttered those words.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang and Luo Xiaoye both looked at him with surprise.

Zhuge Liang was alright; he knew that given Wang Ming's temperament, he probably wouldn't care too much about Zhang Fei's words.

But Luo Xiaoye is different!

boom!
Luo Xiaoye took out a hammer and hit Zhang Fei hard on the head.

"San'er, how many times have I told you to be polite to people! The master must have his own reasons for not wanting to come here. What does it have to do with Dongwu!"

Luo Xiaoye was actually quite upset, since there were very few people who could earn Zhuge Liang's praise.

Pang Tong was definitely one of them.

She thought that if she could bring Pang Tong over, Zhuge Liang would be very happy.

Unfortunately, Pang Tong was unwilling to join them.

···········
After Zhang Ren was taken away, no one was willing to challenge Liu Bei's camp anymore.

Indeed, Luo Xiaoye is kind, helpful, and has a profound respect for life.

She's the kind of person who rarely makes enemies.

Zhuge Liang cultivated extensive good relationships, and Huang Yueying rarely left her home.

Guan Yu was a man of few words, making it impossible for him to offend anyone.

Only Zhang Fei, being such a chatterbox, might offend others.

But Zhang Fei was just a chatterbox; his personality was among the best of the reincarnated, and he had far more friends than enemies.

With Liu Bei's team advancing, half of the quarterfinals have already passed.

Many people are discussing what to do in the upcoming matches.

Ning Xiaoxiao's rules are quite interesting, and they are looking forward to the upcoming semi-finals, finals, and finals.

···········
"Hey, don't you guys think Yuan Shu's second round was a bit too much?"

In the evening, some people, emboldened by alcohol, spoke freely.

"Even if you didn't have a feud before, you might have one in the future."

He was carrying a bottle of liquor, his face as red as a monkey's bottom.

"Also, if all eight teams advance, won't we still have to play in the semifinals?"

"Also, if some teams fail to advance, how will the semifinals be played?"

A man, carrying a bottle of liquor, pointed out the landscape on the beach.

Ji Ling happened to be passing by, and he looked at the man with a very unfriendly gaze.

The man's partner immediately pulled him back and kept giving Ji Ling apologetic smiles.

Ji Ling snorted coldly and returned to their conference room.

"Ji Ling, you're back."

Ning Xiaoxiao called out to Ji Ling, and then began discussing the details of the upcoming conference with Shen Pei and the others.

"Lord Yuan Shu, when shall we take action?"

Ji Ling couldn't hold back any longer. Those foolish reincarnated beings only knew how to act recklessly because of their reincarnated status and power, and they didn't understand the adults' good intentions at all!
"Let's wait until the Cao Wei camp comes to power."

Ning Xiaoxiao smiled; tomorrow would be the home ground for the Cao Wei camp.

She wanted to see if her older sister would really sever all ties with Xia Zeyu.

If Ning Youyou could be so ruthless, then things would be a little easier for her.

If Ning Youyou remains indecisive, then she will have no choice but to risk her life to help Ning Youyou awaken!

"Although I know this is an unwelcome question, I still want to ask, Lord Yuan Shu, is it really worth it?"

Feng Ji looked at Yuan Shu with concern.

Those who are willing to cause trouble deserve to die, but it would be such a pity if an interesting reincarnated person like Ning Xiaoxiao were to die like this.

Is it really worth it to throw Ning Xiaoxiao away for an ignorant Yuan Shao?
“I have already made up my mind, Lord Fengji, you don’t need to persuade me.”

Ning Xiaoxiao's smile remained unchanged; she had long been fully prepared.

"Eh!"

Feng Ji sighed deeply, hoping that Yuan Shao would pull back from the brink and realize his mistake.

···········
The next day.

The Cao Wei camp stood on the arena; today it was their turn to defend their position.

To everyone's surprise, the first person to take the stage today was none other than Xiahou Jie, who had previously shone brightly!
"Wow, is Cao Cao that fast? Xiahou Jie only showed up yesterday, and he's already been granted amnesty today?"

"Who says otherwise! My eldest son also wanted to recruit Xiahou Jie, but he couldn't even find him!"

"I heard that Cao Cao offered Xiahou Jie a price he couldn't refuse. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he's the descendant of a big capitalist." "If you ask me, Xiahou Jie is a coward. He didn't seek out Cao Cao before, but now that Cao Cao has given him a taste of his own medicine, he's eager to please."

"Heh, you think Xiahou Jie is no good? Why don't you go up and challenge him?"

"I'm not going!"

Discussions rose and fell in the audience, but Xiahou Jie didn't care at all even when he heard some rumors.

Just as the viewers said, Xia Zeyu did indeed offer him a price he simply couldn't refuse.

"Today is the final match for the Cao Wei team, one of the top eight teams. Anyone who wants to challenge can come up on stage."

Today's referee is still Ning Xiaoxiao, but instead of Qiao Rui, she is accompanied by Ji Ling, who has a contemptuous yet strangely expectant expression.

Xiahou Jie stood on the field, holding a large sword, waiting for the challenger to appear.

Boom!
Before long, a burly man jumped onto the ring.

His eyes widened in anger, and the large axe in his hand was pointed directly at Xia Zeyu behind him.

"Xiahou Jie! I don't want to fight you! Get down here and make Cao Cao get down here too!"

The burly man cursed at Xia Zeyu, "Cao Cao, if you're a man, come down and fight me!"

The audience members in the stands immediately became interested; they hadn't expected the first match to be a grudge match.

The Cao Wei players' seating area.

The Xiahou brothers looked at Xia Zeyu in surprise, wondering when Xia Zeyu had gotten into a conflict with the man below.

"Boss, what have you done now?"

Xiahou Dun looked at Xia Zeyu with great confusion, and Xia Zeyu was also completely bewildered, not even knowing who the person standing below was.

"That's Zhang Xiu!"

Guo Jia's eyes were full of vigilance.

Zhang Xiu was one of Cao Cao's arch-enemies. In the Battle of Wancheng, he caused Cao Cao to lose his armor and weapons, and even sent his future successor to prison.

If Cao Ang were still alive, the Three Kingdoms would never have been unified under the Jin Dynasty.

Now, Zhang Xiu is the first to jump out and challenge Xia Zeyu. Is it to settle a grudge from the past?
Inside the arena, Xiahou Jie flicked his broadsword.

"If you're looking to settle your grudges over jade like I have, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Xiahou Jie circulated his spiritual energy, ready for battle.

"Today is my first day in the Cao Wei camp, how could I possibly let you face our leader right away!"

"Pah! I'd never want to get involved with that pretty boy! He harassed my wife, tell me, should I kill him or not!"

To Xiahou Jie's surprise, Zhang Xiu spat directly on the ground and continued to glare fiercely at Xia Zeyu.

In that instant, the morale of the Cao Wei camp shrank considerably.

They stared wide-eyed at Xia Zeyu, completely unexpected that it would be this kind of grudge.

"Injustice!"

Xia Zeyu immediately protested his innocence, saying that he hadn't approached other girls in a long time, so how could he have made such a mistake!

"Zhang Xiu, you say your wife was harassed by our boss, do you have any evidence?"

Xiahou Jie remembered that when Dongwu was present, Xing Daorong had come out and slandered them.

Could this embroidery also be intended to slander Cao Cao?

After all, with Zhang Xiu's appearance, his wife probably wouldn't be interested in Xia Zeyu... right?

Just as Xiahou Jie was thinking this, a slender figure rushed onto the stage.

She glared angrily at Xia Zeyu on the stage.

"Cao Cao! Do you still remember me!"

Xia Zeyu looked at the beautiful woman on the stage and suddenly remembered her.

Bad thing!
I had been holding it in for too long, and before I knew it, I had let myself go.

On the beach, a woman was flirting with a group of young women, and this older woman seemed to be one of them!

"Sister, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Xia Zeyu arrived at the venue feeling extremely embarrassed. He knew that if he didn't go on stage soon, he would probably be ridiculed for the rest of his life.

"Humph!"

The pretty woman snorted coldly, "I already told you on the beach that I'm a married man, and you still had the audacity to say that it's even better? My husband is right here, so if you have the guts, say it again in front of all these people!"

Su Wanling looked at Xia Zeyu with utter disappointment in her eyes.

All she knew was that Xia Zeyu had been holding back his guilt for a long time, which was why she had been understanding towards him. Who would have thought that after holding back for so long, Xia Zeyu would become even more outrageous after his true nature was revealed?

It was one thing for her to be unfaithful before, but now she's even going after married men!

Xia Zeyu didn't know what to say. Looking back on the past few days, he felt it was all incredibly absurd.

"Cao Cao! Let's not waste any more time on empty words. Today, right here on this arena of heroes, let's settle this matter! If you're a man, don't back down!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiu handed him a long spear.

At the same time, his wife beside him also transformed.

Dressed in palace attire, she held a ribbon in her hand and glared menacingly at Xia Zeyu.

"She is also a reincarnated person?"

Guo Jia was quite surprised; she had thought the woman was just an ordinary person brought by Zhang Xiu.

"That day, I had my period and wasn't in a good mood, so I went for a walk on the beach. If I hadn't been feeling unwell, I would have slapped you twice that day!"

Zhang Xiu's wife, waving her ribbon, launched the first attack on Cao Cao, saying, "Haven't you been asking my name?"

"I'll tell you right now! My surname is Zou, and my given name is Qingwan!"

Snapped!
The ribbon landed directly on Xia Zeyu's face, leaving a deep red mark.

邹？
"Mrs. Zou?"

Su Wanling and the others were greatly surprised; they hadn't expected Xia Zeyu to actually flirt with Madam Zou.

Is this fate?
···········
Wow, this is big news!

Lu Linglong stared wide-eyed at Xia Zeyu, who was being brutally beaten by Zou Qingwan without resisting. Her focus was not on Xia Zeyu being beaten, but on the fact that Zou Qingwan was Zhang Xiu's wife!
"If I remember correctly, Madam Zou is Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law, isn't she?"

Lu Huan's lips twitched. Even in Lu Family Village, where family rules were very strict, such a thing had hardly ever happened before.

Wow, they must have a lot of fun together!

Fu Rong's eyes were full of envy.

The relationship between Zhang Xiu and Zou Qingwan can only be described as bizarre.

I wonder what they call each other when they're together.

"Speaking of which, isn't it the same in Eastern Wu?"

Lin Fei rubbed his temples. This kind of thing happens when reincarnated people reincarnate randomly.

Cao Cao almost married Yuan Shao before, so what does Zhang Xiu marrying Lady Zou mean?

On the Eastern Wu side, the relationship between the four people was also very complicated.

Lu Xiaolu has taken a liking to Leng Mo, while Wu Haotian is exchanging glances with Yan Yu!

To describe it in the style of the Three Kingdoms period.

Sun Ce faced off against Xiao Qiao.

Da Qiao has taken a liking to Zhou Yu!
Yeah, your industry is really messy!

Oh right, we also need to add a brother-in-law who is the reincarnation of Sima Hui.

There's also Cheng Pu, who seems to have his eye on Xiao Qiao as well!
