I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 67

“As I mentioned earlier, I am Pang Woonil of the Pang Clan. Sect Leader Haheun, and the Sect Leader beside you…”

“Hahyeon.”

Although Hahyeon wore an expression showing little interest in whatever Pang Woonil was saying, he had been watching closely regardless, so he promptly answered the question.

His tone was indifferent, but Pang Woonil seemed unconcerned by it and nodded vigorously.

“So you are Sect Leader Hahyeon. Both Sect Leaders left a strong impression during your demonstration. Throughout today’s matches, you two stood out the most.”

His easy smile and conversational manner clearly marked him as an extrovert by anyone’s standard. While Mount Hua did have people of similar disposition, he seemed slightly more at ease.

“Ah, now that I think of it, this might be a rather impolite question, but I’m simply curious… Might the two of you be disciples of the Plum Blossom Sword King?”

At that question, I widened my eyes slightly.

‘Just a few days ago, even the Young Master of the Nangong Clan recognized it immediately.’

I recalled briefly wondering back then whether that fact had truly become so widely known outside Mount Hua. Judging from my reaction, Pang Woonil seemed to deduce the truth and exclaimed in admiration.

“Indeed! Everyone suspected it implicitly but hesitated to ask directly, so we’ve all been curious. In fact, just before meeting you, we were briefly discussing this among ourselves. Among martial artists of our generation, I might be the first to confirm it.”

Not quite…

The Young Master of the Nangong Clan had known first, but I decided not to mention it—Pang Woonil clearly wanted to savor the joy of being first. Keeping silent out of goodwill wasn’t difficult.

“In any case, that explains your mastery. I remember hearing that the Sword King, who had never taken disciples before, finally accepted some—and now, come to think of it, nearly ten years have passed since then. Between the two of you, Sect Leader Haheun must be the senior.”

“Yes.”
