With the Su Family's collateral and direct lines having completely torn off all pretenses, Su Xin stepped forward as well. Naturally, he no longer needed to show the Su Family any mercy.
Although exposing the Su Family Ancestor's dirty laundry here would not earn Su Xin a single kind word from the rest of the Jianghu—indeed, after this matter, there would likely still be people claiming that Su Xin had plotted to seize the Su Family estate—these words were not meant for outsiders. They were meant for the Su Family's collateral disciples.
