Shen Wuming greatly trusted Su Xin, but this trust didn't include any emotional attachment, only an absolute rational analysis.
Of course, there was no affection between Shen Wuming and Su Xin. On the contrary, there was considerable enmity between them.
Despite the enmity, Shen Wuming had to admit that Su Xin, in terms of strength and capability, was among the most outstanding in this generation of the Martial Arts World.
The first time Su Xin had led them, the Seven Heroes Conference teamed up to eliminate Moge and had already brought them countless prestige. Later, during their time at the Xiao Family, because Shen Wuming and the others feared the strength of the Xiao Family Ancestor, they hadn't made a move. Only Di Jingfei had acted, and that was because he did so out of respect for Yan Rumen, the master of the Moonlit Moon Palace.
No one expected that in that battle, the once famous Xiao Family Ancestor of Jianghu would be defeated, and die in such a suffocating manner.
