"Butler, butler, can you hear me?"

Qiao Lian'er only hoped that the butler wouldn't be unable to even make a sound.

Then a sigh was heard from inside the space.

"Master, I'm here."

"Is the space's function completely restricted?"

"Yes, Master. Now all functions are no longer usable. The plants here have stopped growing, the spiritual spring has stopped flowing, and the relocation space arranged earlier has also been removed from reality."

"This warlock is incredibly powerful."

"Then he can no longer use the Five Elements magic, right?"

"Yes, the laws of the world will not allow a person to become unrestrained and powerful. Huo Xiu had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

"When will the space's functionality be restored?"

"Hoshu needs to take the initiative to lift the restrictions."

Qiao Lian'er frowned: "If he never releases it, then I will never be able to use the space again."

"Rest assured, Master. A sorcerer not using magic is like a person not eating or drinking. It's impossible and unrealistic. Of course, concealment, escape, and evasion are part of a sorcerer's daily routine and are not included here."

Qiao Lian'er understood that the steward meant that only by using magic to unleash martial power could the restriction be lifted.

Yes, Huo Xiu will use magic again sooner or later, but he can also drag it out for a long time.

Sensing Qiao Lian'er's silence, the butler continued.

“Master can force Huo Xiu to use the Five Elements Technique.”

Qiao Lian'er's expression shifted; this was a good idea.

“We’ll go find Huo Xiu now. With my martial arts skills, if he doesn’t use magic, he’s doomed,” Pei Shijiu said.

However, Huo Xiu is elusive and unpredictable, so finding him is not an easy task.

After walking around several streets, they still couldn't see Huo Xiu.

Qiao Lian'er thought of a place: "Let's go to the Taigong Temple."

Huo Xiu was sent by Mu Tai, and he was in cahoots with Song Ruier.

However, when they arrived at the Taigong Temple, they did not see Huo Xiu.

"It's quite rare to see the Princess Zhenguo visiting my humble department." Song Ruier smiled, but his smile always carried a strange quality.

At this moment, he felt a new sense of pride, and the fear he had shown when looking at Qiao Lian'er was gone.

"Where is Huo Xiuren?" Qiao Lian'er asked.

"Of course he should stay where he belongs. Otherwise, would you be coming after him and settling scores?"

Song Ruier sighed softly: "Qiao Lian'er, the only reason I've always lost to you is because you use some tricks."

"Now that your special tricks are no longer available, you're bound to be powerless and unable to do everything perfectly. I'd like to see how you're going to beat me."

Qiao Lian'er raised an eyebrow.

"You still believe that the reason you lost to me was because I used tricks, and that is your biggest misunderstanding of me."

"Is that so? We'll see then." Song Ruier smiled sinisterly.

Qiao Lian'er calmly watched his unrestrained and arrogant behavior, then turned and left.

Hoshu is a sorcerer; if he is determined to hide, it is impossible to find him.

Moreover, he also has everyday methods of concealment, so even if he finds someone, he can escape in the shortest amount of time.

The most important thing now is not Huo Xiu; her spatial abilities are restricted, and some people are about to make their move.

Whether it's Mu Tai, Song Ruier, or someone else.

"Huo Ming, you take a team and keep an eye on Song Ruier."

"Huo Shen, Huo Jue, take twenty hidden guards and thirty top-notch experts to the Da Nu Kingdom to monitor Mu Tai's every move."

Qiao Lian'er's space, if usable, can avoid the large-scale movement and use of these personnel; now, everything needs to be arranged.

Pei Shijiu also prepared more manpower, planting spies in any family with whom he had previous conflicts or interests.

Although it's inevitable that some will slip through the net, seven or eight out of ten cases have been prevented.

Song Ruier closed all the doors and windows of the office, and the interior immediately became dark.

Huo Xiu appeared and sat down on the other side.

"Those methods are no longer feasible. Qiao Lian'er will definitely prepare more manpower. To avoid any leaks, we need to be extra careful in our daily lives."

Thinking of something, Song Ruier looked up at the person opposite her.

"How long can this forbidden technique be maintained?"

"It depends on when I cast the Five Elements spell again."

"That means if you use the Five Elements spells, the forbidden spells will automatically become ineffective." Song Ruier frowned.

It turns out that Huo Xiu had already revealed this meaning, but how he wished that the forbidden technique could exist forever.

"As I've said before, everything in the universe has its counterpart," Huo Xiu said. "I'll leave the rest to you."

Song Ruier lowered her eyelids, a thought flashing through her mind.

If Huo Xiu dies, wouldn't he be unable to use the Five Elements magic forever? Qiao Lian'er would also be forever imprisoned.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Huo Xiu gave a mocking sneer.

"At such a young age, you have such a vicious mind. You want to kill me? You don't have the ability."

Song Ruier feigned surprise: "Mr. Huo, what are you saying? How could I dare to have such thoughts? You are a Five Elements sorcerer, and I am just a person of flesh and blood. How could I be so presumptuous as to oppose you?"

"It's good that you understand this. You should also get rid of this idea, otherwise you will only suffer the consequences."

Huo Xiu didn't think he had misjudged her earlier. This Song Ruier had a sinister aura and was full of wicked schemes.

"Alright, I've done what I needed to do. You don't need to worry about the rest." Huo Xiu said this and disappeared without a trace along with a wisp of mist.

Song Ruier stared in the direction where Huo Xiu disappeared. Rather than dealing with Qiao Lian'er now, he hoped that Huo Xiu would die and cut off Qiao Lian'er's escape route.

However, even if Huo Xiu couldn't use the Five Elements magic, he still couldn't do anything to him.

Song Ruier could sense someone watching him nearby. He closed his eyes and slowly tapped his fingers on the table.

Avoiding these eyes is much easier than noticing Qiao Lian'er silently lurking nearby or suddenly appearing.

He needed to find a way to bring this crucial information to the King of Yan.

Huo Xiu could have done it easily, but Huo Xiu was already gone.

Inside the Taigong Temple, there is a secret passage leading outside.

Song Ruier entered the secret passage and left. After taking several detours, she found the courtyard where Song Dujuan had been settled.

Song Dujuan's deeds were exposed and she was sold, but he quickly found out her current situation and discovered that she had been taken care of.

That person guessed it was the Prince of Yan.

Song Dujuan was reading a book, pondering as she read. It must be said that these books broadened her horizons.

Upon seeing Song Ruier, she paused for a moment, then spoke warily.

"How did you find this place? What are you doing here?"

"Never mind all that. I just want to tell you that Qiao Lian'er can no longer use those underhanded methods, and dealing with her is not as difficult as before."
