What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 331

When Bu Haoyan was inspired by Ye Yu’s words and filled with ambition, elsewhere...

Grand Elder Zu Xuzhong slammed his palm against the jade table in front of him, shattering it into powder. His eyes burned with rage, nearly erupting into flames.

Just moments before, Demon Lord Bai Xichu had visited him and issued a new directive: to fully support Ye Yu.

Support!

That word was like a blade stabbing into Zu Xuzhong’s pride.

Over 3,700 years ago, Zu Xuzhong, the son of a guard, had caught Bai Xichu’s attention due to his exceptional talent. She sent him to the Shading Hall to train. Those who emerged from the Shading Hall were known as Shaders, covert agents placed by Bai Xichu in various locations as spies, activated only at critical moments.

Zu Xuzhong was one of these Shaders. After ten years in the Shading Hall, he was assigned to infiltrate Heavenly Dragon Cliff and assist in the sect's growth, awaiting the right moment to overthrow Bu Haoyan’s father, Bu Shanggen, the previous sect master, and take his place.

With his talent and cunning, Zu Xuzhong quickly became Bu Shanggen’s trusted confidant and rose to the position of Grand Elder. During this time, he worked to gather influence and waited for the perfect opportunity to eliminate Bu Shanggen and complete his mission.

However, fate had other plans. Before Zu Xuzhong could act, Bu Shanggen died in a mutual defeat against a challenger.

When Zu Xuzhong witnessed this scene, he was not sad but overjoyed. Finally, his chance had arrived. He eagerly prepared to take over Heavenly Dragon Cliff, but Bai Xichu intervened, stopping him. Her reasoning was that some of the elders in the sect were still loyal to the Bu family, and Bu Haoyan, a direct descendant, was still alive. If Zu Xuzhong seized power at that moment, it could fracture the sect. Bai Xichu wanted a unified Heavenly Dragon Cliff, so she ordered Zu Xuzhong to continue supporting Bu Haoyan for the time being.

From that moment on, Zu Xuzhong grew to despise the word "support."

Over time, Bu Haoyan’s straightforward nature and eagerness to prove himself often led to impulsive decisions, gradually causing him to lose the support of the sect members. Most of them began to align themselves with Zu Xuzhong, a situation that delighted him. He devised a century-long plan to make everyone detest Bu Haoyan so that when he finally assumed the position of sect master, there would be no resistance.

But all of this changed drastically with Ye Yu’s arrival. Under Ye Yu’s guidance, Bu Haoyan became bold and decisive, distributing valuable resources like demon crystals, which significantly strengthened Heavenly Dragon Cliff and united its members.

Even so, Zu Xuzhong wasn’t overly concerned. He believed that once Heavenly Dragon Cliff became the strongest sect, it would finally be time for him to take over as sect master. Bai Xichu’s long-standing goal of strengthening Heavenly Dragon Cliff was to attract more cultivators to her cause, and she would undoubtedly entrust the sect to one of her own—him.

But Bai Xichu’s visit today was a thunderclap on a clear day. She ordered him to maintain the status quo and fully support Ye Yu!
