"The Nie Clan's reputation took a major blow as a result. From a promising future to fallen disgrace, the Nie Clan nearly collapsed under ridicule and lost multiple alliances, thinking that Nie Fengzhuo had made enemies with the Bai Clan with his last declaration."
It was understandable considering Nie Fengzhuo was picking a fight with the strongest clan of the Empire.
Moreover, there must have been many in alliance with the Nie Clan due to their connection with the Bai Clan.
With that connection gone, they thought there was no need to maintain friendship with the Nie Clan.
Nie Fengzhuo also shouldn't have picked a fight just because of the annulment of the engagement, because even if the engagement was gone, the relationship was still there.
But that too was destroyed by his declaration though Bai Xueqing played an equal part.
But that is what the protagonist does!
"So, could it be that the Nie Clan is still struggling?"
Bai Zihan asked.
