Chapter 11 The Star's Eyes Will Not Let You Go

"Young Miss, the simple oven is ready."

"I brought eggs, sugar, and almonds."

"Yay! Next, I'll show you my newly invented colorful macarons and my newly learned technique for making 'Floating White Frost'!"

It turns out that Navia, Miles, Silver, and Claurind were having a tea party on the other side of the beach.

Because Carles is busy with other matters and doesn't have time to spend with Navia, it's usually Myles and Silver who take Navia out to play.

This time, Clarinde had a rare free time, which was because Navia invited her out. At this moment, little Navia brought out a cup of tea that she had just brewed.

"Clorind, try it and see if it's good. This is a new green tea I'm trying. My dad said it's from a place called Chen Yugu and it's very good."

Little Claude took a sip and savored it for a moment.

"Mmm, it's delicious. Navia's tea is even better than last time. Navia's tea-making skills are constantly improving."

Navia was very happy to hear this. She had wanted to invite Clorind out to play before, but Clorind was always busy with training.

Now that she finally has time to come out, Navia has learned many new desserts in advance, and her tea-making skills are also gradually improving.

While they were chatting, Navia prepared another batch of Dewy Frost. Just as Navia put the Dewy Frost into the oven, Clarinde noticed the commotion at sea.

Claudia noticed something swimming towards her in the sea. "Lady, I can see the shore!"

Qiuhe and his group had just swum to the other side of the sea. Qiuhe and Tian Yaochen had just surfaced when they saw Navia and Clarin, Myles and Silver on the shore.

Clarin looked at the two boys in the water with a puzzled expression, wondering who they were.

Qiuhe recognized the girl with purple hair wearing a hat shaped like a small boat with a white feather on it.

"Is this Clorind? And the two next to her are Myles and Silver, and Navia too."

After Navia finished tidying up the oven, she turned around and saw Qiuhe and Tianyaochen coming to the shore.

Navia was very happy to see that it was Qiuhe and Tianyaochen.

"Le Yi, Tian Yaochen." Tian Yaochen was taken aback when he heard the girl calling his name.

After finally seeing clearly, she remembered that it was the little girl she had carried on her back yesterday. Then, Clementine and her group slowly swam over.

Navia was very happy to see all her older brothers and sisters come that day, thinking they had come especially to play with her.

Then Navia laughed and ran towards Qiuhe, hugging him tightly.

"Okay, okay, Navia, you're hugging too tightly."

"Leyi, did you come here to play with me?"

"Nothing's going on at home today, so we just came out to the beach."

"We're having a tea party here, Luo Li, why don't you come along?"

Clementine and Lily also came over when they heard it was a tea party.

"Tianyao Chenluoli, you should come too."

When Chehui heard Navia call Tian Yaochen again, she looked at Tian Yaochen with a disdainful smile.

"Oh dear, Captain, Navia has invited you to a tea party. You're not going to refuse, are you?"

Tian Yaochen was instantly captivated by Qie Hui's expression.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? I'm a veteran of tea parties, why would I refuse? Even if all of you came at me together, you couldn't beat me." "Hey buddy, what's a tea party anyway?"

Just moments ago he was spouting nonsense, but now he's quietly whispering in Qiuhe's ear, asking what a tea party is all about.

Qiuhe paused for a moment, then came to a conclusion: "Uh... it seems like it's just girls getting together to chat about cute things, play cute games, and exchange their experiences."

"Oh oh~~~~~. Playing house. Home."

"Hey, Leyi, do you see that crab over there? He looks lonely all by himself. Let's go play with him for a while."

Qie Hui quickly walked over and punched Tian Yaochen twice on the head.

"You're cursing."

"No. I won't do it again. I'll never do it again."

"Everyone, come and have something to eat! The macarons are ready," Navia said, taking macarons and Floating White Frost from the oven.

Qiuhe and Tian Yaochen still didn't attend. Just as Qiuhe had said at the beginning, the tea party organized by the little girl was indeed not something the two of them could get along with.

"Damn it, those two bastards, Kyle and Cindy, actually abandoned me to attend a tea party just to flirt with girls!"

Tian Yaochen was idly throwing pebbles into the sea. Qiu He sighed helplessly, "Who taught you all these words?"

Looking at the sea, Qiuhe was also filled with a myriad of thoughts. "Tian Yaochen, how did you join the Hearth House?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Yaochen paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something. He looked towards Li Yue, gazing in that direction for a long time without speaking.

He then smiled calmly.

"Leiyi, do you know that I'm actually from Liyue?"

"Hmm, I guessed it from your name."

With a soft sigh, Tian Yaochen began to recount his past.

"That's a memory I don't want to recall. When I was little, I always had a dream: to become a peerless swordsman who roams the world and is famous throughout the land."

"My father is a businessman, my brother is studying at the Order of the Church, and as for my mother, I don't know what she does. I only know that she always leaves early and comes home late, and sometimes she doesn't even come home at night."

"Sometimes he might not even come home for several days."

"Sometimes when my brother comes home, he tells me stories about the stars. He tells me that I shine just like a star in the sky."

"One day I will become a world-renowned, unparalleled swordsman, and I will remain steadfast in my chosen path."

"I've been practicing swordsmanship with a small wooden sword since I was three years old," Tian Yaochen said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Sigh, calling it swordsmanship is nothing more than a child's random slashing. But one day, my brother started behaving very strangely."

"He usually doesn't have much time to go home; he spends a lot of time studying at the Order Academy. On the day I turned six, my brother stayed by my side and kept teaching me swordsmanship."

"Their swordsmanship instruction was very strict, but I didn't think much of it; I just figured they finally had time to spend with me."

"I would get injured every time I practiced after that, and my brother would remind me (that it's not the posture of a swordsman to fall down over such a small injury)."

"Every word he said inspired me. You have to get back up wherever you fall."

"If you cut your hand, bandage it up, then keep wielding your sword. The more you fear something, the more you must face it, overcome it, and conquer it until you sweep away all obstacles in your path."

"Until one day, all the beautiful fantasies and dreams shattered, bit by bit."

"My parents and I were eating when they suddenly felt unwell and couldn't even stand up straight."

"I was just about to help them up when the door to my house was smashed open and two people wearing red blindfolds came in."

"Their faces were also covered with cloth, so I couldn't see their faces at all. I only know that one of them was holding a long yellow axe."

"The other one has a strange, shield-like pointed device on his right hand."

"I watched helplessly as they killed my parents, and I couldn't do anything. Every time I rushed in, they took me down. Once, twice, three times, four times."

"I fell down and got up again and again, but it was all to no avail. Just then, I saw someone walk in through the door. It was my brother."

"Seeing my brother here made me very happy; I felt like I had seen hope for revenge. But in the end, I saw a scene that I will never forget for the rest of my life."

"My brother was chatting and laughing with those two enemies who killed Mom and Dad. I even saw him throw away Mom's belly."

"They took something glowing with golden light out of my mother's womb and handed it to those two bad guys. Seeing this, I felt a surge of anger."

"I got up again, grabbed my sword, and charged at those three beasts, but it was no use. The tall, burly man grabbed my collar and threw me aside, causing me to fall to the ground."

"The last two men said something to my brother and then walked away. My brother slowly walked towards me. I gripped my sword and swung it at him again as it drew near."

But he easily grabbed my hand.

(If you want revenge, then remember my face, become stronger, strong enough to kill me.)

"Indeed, I've remembered that face, and I'll remember everything he did."

"One day sooner or later, I will..."

"He will personally place his head in front of his parents' graves."
