"Boo-hoo... Granny, I got knocked out. What do I do? I can't accept it..."
At that moment, Han Yu was slumped over the table, pouring out his woes to Granny Du.
"Little Yu, making it into the top 400 this time was already a blind cat stumbling onto a dead mouse. There's no need for regrets!" Granny Du said with a smile. Although she was clearly trying to comfort Han Yu, it had the opposite effect in the end.
"Granny, quite a few of our people have been eliminated," Yu Xiao said. "As of now, 28 can still take part in the upcoming matches."
"Yes, I know. Just keep giving it your all. What matters most is leaving no regrets," Granny Du said with a smile. "You're all newcomers, after all. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Time will prove everything."
"Um... Jiajia... she was just eliminated, and she's feeling awful right now. Do you think..."
"She's a child, after all. Growing up is a process everyone has to go through." Granny Du shook her head. "Let her calm down on her own."
Yu Xiao pressed his lips together. He knew that Granny only looked so untroubled because she did not want to put too much pressure on them as competitors and affect their performance.
They were a great nation, after all. Saying results did not matter would have been a lie.
"Mm... Xiao Liang seems to be back. He advanced too," Cao Min said. "That makes five Elite Four members who've advanced."
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen much of that young couple lately." Han Yu lifted his head from the table. "It's been a week, hasn't it?"
"Now that you mention it, you're right."
"Those two?" Granny Du said with a smile. "They went to Trial Peak."
