Novel[]
The story unfolds in a tense environment, where the protagonist finds himself face to face with Baek Hye-hyang, a powerful and enigmatic woman whose presence in that place was, to say the least, unexpected. The surprise and discomfort were palpable, as her appearance in an environment controlled by the Martial Arts Federation was a bold and dangerous act.
The protagonist recognizes her voice immediately, demonstrating that his relationship with Baek Hye-hyang already had a history of tension. The interaction between the two quickly turns into a psychological clash, with her testing his limits and him trying to stand his ground. Her presence there was not only a challenge to the rules of that environment, but also a direct provocation.
Baek Hye-hyang demonstrates an air of superiority and confidence, mocking the protagonist's attempt to remain indifferent. She mentions his past, recalling the incident where he almost died due to his actions. The conversation intensifies when she makes him an unexpected proposal: to join her. Her proposal was not just an alliance, but an attempt to attract him to her side, suggesting that under her tutelage he would have a better chance of growing and achieving power.
The protagonist, on the other hand, remains cautious. He understands that accepting such an offer could mean his downfall. He tries to politely refuse, but Baek Hye-hyang's insistence becomes increasingly aggressive. She realizes that he is hiding his true strength and this only increases her interest. The conversation takes an even more intense turn when she suggests that he would be an ideal candidate to be her husband, mixing provocation with seduction.
Despite the growing tension, the protagonist stands firm. He knows that revealing his true strength could be dangerous, but realizes that there is no longer any way to hide his abilities. When Baek Hye-hyang tries to immobilize him, he reacts quickly, escaping her attack and proving that he is not a simple rising warrior. The fight unfolds at an intense pace, with both testing their limits.
At this point, Sima Ying enters the scene. She appears to defend the protagonist, pointing her sword at Baek Hye-hyang. The atmosphere becomes even more tense when Baek Hye-hyang stares at her coldly, with no intention of backing down. The two warriors are about to collide when the protagonist intervenes strategically, using his skills to escape the situation, taking Sima Ying with him.
The escape not only avoids a direct confrontation, but also leaves Baek Hye-hyang disconcerted. The protagonist understands that, although he managed to escape, this would not be the last time he would face Baek Hye-hyang. Her presence, her words and her determination were clear signs that she would not give up on her goal so easily.
The encounter ends with a feeling of unease. The protagonist now bears the weight of the attention of one of the most dangerous figures in his world. He needs to be prepared for future clashes, because Baek Hye-hyang is not someone who accepts rejection easily. The power play was just beginning, and he would have to be even more cunning to survive what was to come.
