Learning that Tie Wujing needed to eliminate Qiu Baichuan's remaining forces within a year to be eligible as a judge of the Luoyang Arena, Su Xin secretly remarked on the Iron Family's cruel and realistic way of managing their disciples in the Six Gates.
Only by demonstrating your strength are you eligible to gain the treatment you deserve.
Just like what Tie Zhan said to Su Xin initially, after Su Xin took over as the Chief Catcher of Jiangnan Province and had settled into his position, everything else could be discussed.
If he could not stabilize his seat, then sorry, the Iron Family did not raise the inept.
This rule applied equally to the young disciples of the Iron Family. However, for these disciples, they had one more opportunity than others.
If Su Xin knew the Iron Family's strategy, he would have weakened the strength of the Six Gates in Bashu Province beforehand, and incidentally helped his old friend Tie Wujing.
