People's ambitions grew with their positions. When you were just a minor constable, you might have thought you'd be satisfied if you could become the constable in charge of a single ward.
But once you finally became a ward constable, you'd want to become the chief constable of a prefecture.
That was also why Huang Bingcheng had advised Su Xin not to let Su Mingqi live after the plan succeeded.
At present, Su Mingqi could be said to have no particular ambition. All he wanted was to see the Su Family regain its former glory.
But ambition was something that could keep fermenting. Once Su Mingqi had truly tasted the fruits of power, would he still be content to serve under Su Xin?
After all, Su Xin's strength and prestige in the Martial Arts World far surpassed Su Mingqi's. At present, only Su Xin could shoulder the Su Family's banner.

So, to be safe, Huang Bingcheng still advised Su Xin to kill Su Mingqi once he had completely taken control of the Su Family, nipping the danger in the bud.
Su Xin merely shook his head. "There's no need for that. Ambition needs time to ferment, but there's one thing that can suppress the so-called ambitions of these people outright: strength.
