Although Huo Yutong had already removed a quarter of the restriction, her unauthorized actions had caused the remaining restrictions to fuse with her body as well.
If Ye Xishui had guessed correctly, the reason Huo Yutong still needed Tang Wulin to bring her here for help was that she had been unable to proceed after removing half of it.
