Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 679 Personnel Adjustment at Trinity Gate

Speaking of personnel changes, many people, like Si Chong, straightened their bodies and leaned forward slightly, as if they wanted to hear more clearly.

Yes, not only Si Chong, but also many people who were fooled by He Songling's words just now, such as the independent cultivators like Zhen Duo, and the heads of small and medium-sized sects like the heads of the Three Demon Sect and Qingzhuyuan. Those who wanted to get further development were all interested in He Songling's plan of "visiting professor" and "outer sect elder".

Even though with their strength, they could use their Qi to hear clearly sounds thirty to fifty meters away, but they still couldn't help but want to get closer. This was a psychological reaction.

He Songling did not disappoint his uncle master. The first thing he said was: "Appoint Uncle Si Chong as the deputy head of the Sanyi Sect. From now on, the deputy head is a permanent position, responsible for the daily affairs of the sect and the short-term development direction. He is the executive elder of the elders' council and has the right to convene temporary elders' councils. He is supervised by elders of the same level and by Sanyi disciples."

In fact, He Songling did not expand Si Chong's power, because these things were what Si Chong had always been doing. Instead, the "under supervision" clause actually restricted Si Chong's power in Trinity Gate.

But it tastes as sweet as honey.

What he needs is not unlimited power. To put it bluntly, the Trinity Sect is just a scattered organization in the underworld and it does not have much power. What he needs is just a name.

The Trinity Sect has never had a real deputy chief.

Don’t look at the daily affairs of the Sanyi Sect before, which were basically handled by Si Chong and then reported to Zuo Rutong. Whenever there was a major event, Zuo Rutong would also convene the senior disciples in the sect to hold a meeting in that clean room to discuss, but it was basically Zuo Rutong who made the final decision alone.

It was not that Zuo Rutong was greedy for power. He had not yet delegated power. However, his childhood and teenage experiences, watching his teachers, fellow disciples, and even early disciples like Dongshan, become paralyzed or die one by one because of their practice, made him tread on thin ice in his position as the head of the sect.

He dared not let anything go, or make any decision without his approval. He alone accepted all the people of the Sanyi Sect as his disciples, he alone supervised all the disciples' breakthroughs, and he alone decided all the routes of the Sanyi Sect. He was afraid that something would go wrong one day and he would regret it.

So when He Songling was the first to jump out and lead Lu Jin to break into the second level, and later proclaimed himself the third and fourth deputy sect leader outside, Zuo Rutong was actually indescribably happy in his heart.

Finally, there was someone who could help him put down the burden on his shoulders and practice well.

Since the rise of He Songling, Zuo Rutong has been involved in the affairs of the sect less and less. Later on, there were even some big things, such as teaching the disciples other methods besides the third level of reverse life and arming the disciples with hot weapons, but Zuo Rutong did not even ask about them.

Whenever Zuo Rutong saw great changes in the sect that he was not aware of, he felt extremely gratified.

But it was He Songling who was in charge, not Sanyimen. Although Sanyimen had grown, Zuo Ruotong had never dared to let it go completely, nor had he dared to give Si Chong the title of deputy head of the sect and let him take charge of the daily affairs of Sanyimen.

What about Si Chong? Si Chong is also ambitious.

He may not be greedy for power, but he needs to have a record and a reputation for what he has done.

Just like what he said to Cheng Zhen when he decided to go down the mountain to find Wu Gensheng in the original work, you will take over as the head of the sect temporarily. If I succeed, you have to return the position of head of the sect to me.

Now I finally have such a status. "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Deputy Headmaster, congratulations, congratulations."

Upon hearing this, many people bowed and congratulated Si Chong.

The prime minister's disciple is a seventh-rank official. Perhaps this disciple can do more and easier things than a seventh-rank official, but after all, he is not an official. People respect the prime minister behind this person. Only when this person is really sent out and becomes an official himself, can he be considered to have a promotion path, which is different.

"Okay, congratulations, congratulations." Si Chong also bowed happily and returned the greeting, then turned to look at Zuo Rutong: "Brother, if you don't give me the position of deputy sect leader, someone else will."

"You." Zuo Ruotong smiled and shook his head. He and Shi Chong were never the same kind of people. Although this did not prevent him from having a good relationship with his junior brother, Shi Chong was more concerned about the sect's prospects, status, fighting strength, and reputation in the martial arts world. Zuo Ruotong did not agree with this.

But now, looking at the smug smile on Si Chong's face, he found that this seemed not bad.

Not everyone can become a seeker of truth, and not everyone can become a god. Throughout human history, how many gods have there been?

Let him go.

"Mr. He, please tell me more about this elders' meeting..." Na Zhenduo really wanted to make progress. He specially came from the capital in the north, across most of the old clock, to the Trinity Gate in Fujian, not just to be a supporting actor for He Songling.

He is very strong and has learned a lot. He also wants to be an elder!

"You asked a good question. Westerners are hypocritical in many ways, but one thing is true: power requires supervision."

He Songling understood what Zhenduo meant, but he came too early. If he followed his own path, Sanyimen would develop for another fifty years, no, even twenty or thirty years, everything would be stable, and the top power structure of Sanyimen would have changed at least once, then it would be fine to let outsiders join the decision-making level.

But now, this new startup model is still too fragile and cannot tolerate the slightest bit of distrust.

Of course, if He Songling had been the head of the sect, he would have been able to control it. The problem was that he didn't even care about his company, which was the world's largest by market value, and was thinking about selling his shares, so how could he possibly care about the affairs of the Sanyi Sect?

Therefore, Zhenduo had to bear the brunt of the situation.

Then He Songling continued, "Disciples with strong strength and high attainments can be promoted to elders or visiting professors of the sect through examinations or external recruitment. Those who have made great contributions to the sect and have made constructive contributions can be elected to the Elders Council after being elected and approved by more than half of the Elders Council. They have the right to make major decisions for the Sanyi Sect and supervise major decisions.

The Presbyterian Church shall be re-elected every five years, and the longest consecutive term shall not exceed two terms. When someone behaves improperly, more than half of the members of the Presbyterian Church shall vote in favor of expelling him from the Presbyterian Church; when more than half of the disciples of Trinity School express opposition, the Presbyterian Church shall be dissolved and the members of the Presbyterian Church shall be re-elected.
