C1195 He Told Me Everything
Yang Xuan poured a glass of water and handed it to the red sparrow. He straightened his body and prepared to listen to the truth of the matter.
Instinct told him that the red sparrow was hiding a huge secret.
The sparrow took a deep breath and gently closed its eyes. It seemed to recall something that it did not want to mention.
After a while, she told Yang Xuan everything that had happened.
The former Sect Master of the Red Shirt Sect had two foster sons under him. One of them was the current Sect Master, Sang Zhuzalo.
According to the usual practice, the next sect master would be born from these two adopted children, but in the end, it would still depend on the old sect master to decide who it would be.
One of these two adopted sons was called Sanjuzalo, and the other was called Gesangpova.
The two godsons' natural endowments were extraordinary, and they both made great contributions to the Red Shirt Sect.
Their contributions were evenly matched. For a time, even the old Cult Master was unable to determine who would be the next Cult Master.
Thus, the old sect master came up with an idea. At that time, the Red Shirt Sect had two greatest longtime enemies, and the old sect master divided these two longtime enemies to each of these two godsons.
Then, he promised the two of them that whoever destroyed the longtime enemy he was responsible for first would become the next sect master's successor!
These two longtime enemies had been entangled with the Red Shirt Sect for several decades. Their strengths were evenly matched, and they had fought countless battles of various sizes. Both sides had their own wins and losses.
Therefore, this test was not an easy one.
However, the two of them did not shrink back. They began their dangerous journey.
One of the two old enemies was in the east while the other was in the west. Sanzhu Zarro was in charge of the east while Gesangpova was in charge of the west.
After three years of fighting, a dramatic scene occurred.
The two of them actually took down their old enemies on the same day.
However, Sanzhu Zarro was full of confidence, because according to the time, although both of them completed their tasks on the same day, he was two hours earlier than Gesangpova. So he thought that the next successor of the Bishop would be him.
However, in the end, things went contrary to his wishes. The old Sect Master had publicly announced that Gesangpova would become the next Sect Master's successor in front of dozens of the upper echelons of the Red Shirt Sect!
Sanzhu Zarro was dumbfounded at that time. He did not care too much about it. In a moment of desperation, he openly expressed his dissatisfaction in the hall, saying that he had clearly completed the mission two hours earlier than Gesangpova. Logically speaking, the next successor should be him!
The old Sect Leader did not blame him for contradicting him. Instead, he told him that although Gesangpova was two hours later than him, there was a reason for this.
In fact, the time Gesangpova took to conquer the enemy's lair was three hours earlier than the time Gesangpova took over the enemy's lair. The reason why Gesangpova delayed for a longer time after taking over the enemy's lair was because he did not want to cause more casualties.
Therefore, even if he had absolute confidence, Gesangpova suddenly ordered to stop the attack. Instead, he sent out an ambassador to negotiate with the enemy, hoping to make them give up resistance and surrender.
This way, he would be able to prevent the other party from suffering casualties during the Beast Trapping War.
With that, the time to take over the local headquarters would be delayed.
On the other hand, Sanzhu Zarro was different. In order to reduce the time needed to complete the mission, he did not hesitate to give the order to directly attack and kill all the enemies even though he had the chance to minimize the casualties on his side.
Although this way, although the speed was fast, they had to pay a lot of unnecessary casualties as a price.
So after some consideration, the old bishop decided to choose the next successor of the bishop to be Gesangpova!
Sandalou was flustered and exasperated, but he knew the old cult leader's personality. The decision he made would never change.
Besides, it was such a big deal.
In the following days, Sanzhu Zarro was still brooding over this matter, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged.0
He was the one who completed the mission first, but why was the successor of the Bishop his right to be Gesangpova?
This was clearly showing that he was biased!
Since then, he had been very passive. He was very lazy when doing things, even when it came to fighting. He wanted to use this method to express his dissatisfaction.
In the end, because of his perfunctory and negligence, he lost a very important battle that was already within his grasp.
That battle had caused the Church of the Red Shirt to suffer heavy losses. The old Sect Master was furious and immediately ordered the execution of Sang Zhuzalo in the great hall!
Sanzhu Zarro was so frightened that his entire body went limp. He never expected that the cult master would actually do such a vicious thing to him!
Only then did he realize that in the Red Shirt Sect, the authority of the Sect Master and the Red Shirt Sect's interests were always the top priority.
Even if he was the Cult Master's adopted son, if he committed a capital crime, he would still find it difficult to absolve himself from the blame!
Sang Zhuzalo knelt on the ground and begged loudly, but the old sect master was determined. Today, he had to be executed because the mistakes he committed were too serious.
Just as the axman was about to take Sanzhu Zarro out to behead him, Gesangpova suddenly stood out to plead for mercy.
He told the old cult master that although Sanzhu Zarro had committed an unforgivable crime, he had also made great contributions to the Church of the Red Shirt.
Moreover, Sandalou was the number one warrior of the Church of the Red Shirt. Although the Church of the Red Shirt had already made the four factions submit on the surface, there were still undercurrents that could not be avoided.
Looking at the overall situation, killing Sanzhu Zarro at this time was not a very good choice.
It was better to first record this score and give Sanzhu Zarro a chance to kill his enemies and atone for his crimes. If he made a similar mistake in the future, it would not be too late to convict him then.
The upper echelons of the Red Cloaked Cult saw that the future successor of the Cult Master had come out to speak. They, who had been silent a moment ago, stood out to plead for Sanzhu Zarro.
Each of these people was smarter than the last. When the Cult Master had ordered them to kill Sanzhu Zarro, none of them had stepped forward to speak.
However, when Gesangpova stepped forward to plead for mercy, they immediately began to plead for mercy.
On the surface, they were pleading for Sandalou, but in reality, they were expressing their loyalty to the future leader, Grandalbo.
In the end, on the account of Gesangpova, the old Pope decided to let Gesangpova go for the time being, and let him lead his troops to battle to atone for his crimes!
Because of this, Sanzhu Zarro managed to escape.
Originally, according to normal human logic, after this incident, Gesangpova should have been extremely grateful to him. After all, Gesangpova had saved his life.
However, the narrow-minded Sandalou did not think that way. In his opinion, the reason why Gesangpova had pleaded for him was not because he wanted to save him.
Instead, he was using this method to ridicule him!
Furthermore, when he had seen the upper echelons of the Church of the Red Shirt beat around the bush and express their loyalty to Gesangpova, Sandalou had felt as if a fishbone had been stuck in his throat!
Why? Why did he want to seize the position that originally belonged to me!?
Why was he able to enjoy the high and mighty rights in the headquarters while he risked his life to go on an expedition?
