Commander

In the courtyard, Yan Hanqi bit her lips and hesitantly looked towards Pan Shiyuan.

Seeing this expression, Pan Shiyuan asked, Are you unhappy because you got eliminated?

Yan Hanqi shook her head. No, its not that Hanqi cant accept this outcome. But Commander, I dont get it. Under those circumstances, I didnt think anyone could have seen me. How did Gu Qingjiu discover me right away?

She followed up with another question. Commander, I saw that you and the other commanders were watching the competition on the monitors earlier. So did you guys see how I got eliminated?

Pan Shiyuan nodded and said with a sigh, Hanqi, we met a formidable opponent this time. I was too conceited, always thinking that you

Considering that his words might hurt Yan Hanqi, he said something else. On the battlefield, you could have just attacked her on the spot. Why did you suddenly laugh?

Yan Hanqi was speechless.

She was shocked.

Everyone heard that subtle laughter?

She said in embarrassment, Sorry, Commander, but this is a habit of mine. But

She found you because of that laughter. That Gu Qingjiu has a scarily sharp sensitivity towards sounds and everything around her. You shouldnt feel too aggrieved losing to her.

Right after Pan Shiyuan had finished speaking, an imperceptible contorted expression revealed on Yan Hanqis face.

Shouldnt feel too aggrieved?

Under those circumstances, she was damn sure the other party couldnt have found her. But Gu Qingjiu

Since Pan Shiyuan put it that way, Yan Hanqi realized that she might have belittled her opponent earlier.

She could detect a sense of danger from Gu Qingjiu, but she hadnt expected her to be so dangerous

She lowered her head and could only leave it at that.

Pan Shiyuan comforted her, Hanqi, its okay to be eliminated this time. There will be another chance. Just go back and practice more, and fully prepare for the nationwide competition in October.

A hint of obscurity flashed across Yan Hanqis eyes. Commander, I heard that Gu Qingjiu has only trained for three months?

Pan Shiyuan nodded. From what I heard, that is the case.

Right after Yan Hanqi was eliminated, he had asked Lu Yimei for some basic information regarding Gu Qingjiu.

One couldnt help but feel that the heavens were unjust.

Just three months of training and she could perform at such a perverse level

Three months, huh

Only three months.

She mumbled to herself. With her head lowered, no one could see what was going on in her head.

But its okay Hanqi. We cant compare with someone in the same league as Yin Ruoyi. You dont have to take it to heart.

But how could she not take it to heart?

They were of about the same age.

She had been undergoing stringent training since young, for more than ten years.

And she always had a great deal of confidence in herself, thinking that a combination of talent and hard work should make her invincible.

But this shot from Gu Qingjiu easily crushed the pride she had held on for all these years.

And the thing is, she had only trained for three months!

Three months!

Only

Someone in the same league as Yin Ruoyi

She did hear of Yin Ruoyis reputation. But

But why could this Gu Qingjiu be considered in the same league as Yin Ruoyi?

Yan Hanqi gripped her fingers tightly, a dejected expression on her face.

Under Pan Shiyuans persuasion, she returned to where her teammates were.

Everyone thought her terrible countenance was due to her being unhappy from getting eliminated.

Nobody went to bother her or anything.
