"Mr. Chen, from the perspective of the authorities, you are an extremely destabilizing factor. For instance, the massive waves you caused in Korea and Japan have already reached the state level. Interactions between nations are far more complex than just sending domestic experts to spar with one another; naturally, I won't go into the details here."
"What I want to say is that the conservative faction considers any cooperation with you, Mr. Chen, to be completely unfeasible. They would rather back Xuan Yuanzhan than allow the title of the Evil Emperor to become the public face of our official experts."
"However, following the series of issues triggered by the promotion of Xuan Yuanzhan, and his subsequent death, the voices of the conservative faction are no longer as dominant."
