Ye Chen fixed his serious gaze on Wang Ying, his tone grave as he addressed her, "Princess Ying, take a moment to assess the state of your faction. Since your return from the Sacred Dominion, your faction's strength has suffered a significant decline. The situation might have been salvageable if the Lotus Blossom Sect had remained by your side, but their departure triggered a chain reaction, leading the Hua Clan and other organizations to abandon you."
Ye Chen's words struck a chord with Wang Ying, causing her to pause and listen with a visibly displeased expression.
Sensing her willingness to hear him out, Ye Chen maintained his composure and continued, "All those organizations that left your faction have joined forces with Crown Prince Wang Hao or Seventh Prince Wang Jian. Their factions have grown considerably stronger, surpassing your own. I daresay your faction is now only marginally stronger than Third Prince Wang Chen's."
