First of all, Gong Shangjiao has an arrogant and extreme personality, so he is not popular.Although he worked very hard in his studies and showed outstanding abilities and achievements, he was young, arrogant, arrogant, like to act alone, and did not get along well with others.Due to this situation, the elders believe that Gong Shangjiao cannot unite everyone and lead Gong Sect to a higher level.On the contrary, although Gong Huanyu (Gong Ziyu's brother) is slightly weaker, he has won unanimous praise from everyone for his gentle, humble and caring qualities.And as the eldest son holding the sword, he took over naturally and in line with public expectations.
Secondly, someone deliberately set up a game to let Gong Shangjiao win and provoke conflicts.Gong Shangjiao has always had a high self-esteem and was arrogant.Therefore, during the trial, he walked alone and finally reached the finish line first.In contrast, Gong Huanyu may care more about others and external things.During the trial, he may have been slowed down by caring for others or being plotted against.This resulted in his performance being inferior to Gong Shangjiao.Although everyone unanimously elected Gong Huanyu as the successor, Gong Shangjiao still harbored a sense of injustice in his heart.He waited for the opportunity to take back the position that was rightfully his.
