Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 230 Be Confident

Just then, outside the arena, Kree and several others gathered around Senna, gently soothing her heartstrings, which were extremely tense due to the upcoming competition.

"Sinaqi, try to relax a little! Just imagine the person you're fighting is Leiyi, there's really no need to be so tense."

"You know, we all have complete faith in you, and we firmly believe that you will definitely do a great job in this competition!" Clay said with a smile, his eyes full of concern and encouragement.

Lily, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "That's right, Sina! Think about it, even your strong brother was defeated by you yesterday during training!"

So just relax and deal with it. So far, no other child in the family is more capable than your brother.

However, despite listening to Clement and Lily's sincere words of encouragement, Senna's already tense emotions did not ease in the slightest.

Seeing her clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, she still looked anxious and uneasy. Seeing this scene...

For a moment, Kree and the others were at a loss, completely unsure of what to say to calm Sina down.

"Crevy, what are you doing?" Hearing this familiar voice, everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw that it was Qiuhe walking out of the sparring area.

"Lei!" Kree ran up to Lei with a smile and hugged her tightly. "Lei, how was the sparring? Did that Chur hurt you?"

Hearing Clay's worried question, Akikawa pointed to his back with his thumb. Clay looked behind Akikawa and saw...

Chur was being carried out of the sparring ground by a Fool's instructor, his head covered in bumps. Judging from his appearance, he was probably unconscious.

"So, Kree, what are you all doing here?" Kree asked with a hint of melancholy. "Senna has been feeling anxious about the upcoming competition."

Lily and I tried to comfort her, but it was no use. We don't know what to say anymore." After listening, Qiuhe walked towards Sinaqi.

"Sinaqi, are you worried?" Sinaqi didn't speak, but after a few seconds of silence, she simply nodded. "If... if Sinaqi doesn't win the match..."

"Then, is it pointless for your brother to help Sinaqi with her training?" Sinaqi said, her hand gripping her clothes even tighter.

When Akikawa heard about Sina's worries, he smiled gently and said, "Sina, the competition is just the King's Game. It's just a game for the children."

Winning and losing are meaningless; everyone is striving to become the queen in the mother's story. If Senna wants to become queen...

Then try your best to win. Don't be afraid of losing. Winning or losing isn't important. Even if you lose, your brother will still be your brother, and that will never change, will it?

As Qiuhe spoke, he took Si Naqi's hand and pressed his thumb against Si Naqi's thumb. The ring on Qiuhe's finger began to flash with energy.

Finally, it shattered into countless cubes and transformed back into a ring on Sina's thumb. "If Sina is still anxious..."

"Then wear this. With this ring, it'll be like your brother is by your side. That way, Sinaqi shouldn't be so nervous, right?"

"Sinaqi, Sinaqi! Which one is Sinaqi? It's your turn for sparring on the greatsword side, come over here right now!" Hearing the instructor's shout...

Sinaqi's body trembled violently. "I...I'm here...I'll be right there!" Startled by the instructor's shout, Sinaqi, who had just begun to calm down...

She tensed up again. "Sinaqi, relax. Don't be nervous," Qiuhe's warm and gentle voice came. Hearing this, Sinaqi slowly calmed her rapid breathing.

But no matter what she did, she found it hard to calm down. Seeing this, Qiuhe slowly raised his hand to stroke Si Naqi's hair and gently kissed her forehead.

As the kiss ended, Qiuhe looked at Sinaqi with doting eyes, "Little sister, don't worry, I believe you can definitely win."

After some comforting and encouraging words from Qiuhe, Si Naqi finally arrived at the training ground. The moment she stepped onto the field, the children in the stands...

They all shouted "Sinaqi" in unison, and the children's shouts filled the entire training ground. At this moment, the boy standing on the opposite side also walked into the training ground with a calm and unhurried gait.

Upon arriving at the training ground, the boy slowly raised his eyes. Looking at Si Naqi before him, his eyes revealed calmness and composure, but his inner turmoil was palpable.

"Ahhh! Sina, I love you!!!" The boy silently let out a sigh of relief. A charming smile appeared on his face as he slowly looked up at Sina.

"Hello, Sinaqi, my name is Donat Layon, and I'm the captain of the Creation Squad. Of course, for this family that houses dozens of children..."

"My existence may not attract your attention, and you may never have known me. But..." The boy said, drawing a large wooden sword.

With his left hand held behind his back, the sword pointing straight forward, he resembled a dashing swordsman. "It is an honor to meet you in this sparring session, beautiful Miss Sinaqi."

"I also hope that this sparring session will allow me to leave a mark on this beautiful young lady's heart." Qiuhe, watching all this from the spectator stands in the sparring arena, said this.

Curious, she asked Kelly, "Kelly, have you seen this kid named Donat Layon before?" Kelly thought for a moment.

"I don't know. I don't usually inquire about the other teams' affairs, so I don't know much about them. But maybe the captain knows." After Kai Le finished speaking, the two looked at Tian Yao Chen beside him.

"Tian Yaochen, do you know this Donat Layon?" Upon hearing Qiuhe's question, Tian Yaochen replied casually:

"Uh, I have heard of them, but I don't know much about their team. Why?" "Um...nothing, just asking."

Qiuhe spoke, but looking at the child's composed demeanor and the way he held the wooden greatsword in one hand, pointing it forward, it was clear that even the weapons used in the training ground were made of wood.

But the wooden greatsword still carried considerable weight, while the boy wielded it as if it were a single-handed sword with effortless ease. Qiuhe couldn't help but think...

This boy probably has some skill; he might even be able to pull off something like Qiu Shanshan. But actually, Qiu He doesn't particularly care about skill level.

After all, as long as it's not a mad dog like Chur, it's fine. At this moment, the boy appears calm and composed, exuding an aura of strength.

But in reality, the boy was gritting his teeth and forcibly suppressing the slight trembling of his arm caused by the weight of the greatsword, and in the end, he was only pretending to be calm.

He gripped his greatsword and planted it upright on the ground. "Sinaqi, it's an honor to spar with you." The boy's words were barely out of his mouth when their sparring began.

Sina stood there, still looking somewhat hesitant. Seeing her reserved demeanor, the boy adopted a gentlemanly posture.

"I almost forgot, when fighting a beautiful lady, the lady should go first. Come on, Sinaqi, you can go first." The boy's gentle voice came.

Sinaqi stared at the ring on her finger for a few seconds, then said naively, "Well, I'm going now. You... you have to be careful."

Even during offensive practice, he would remind his opponent. The boy's cheeks flushed instantly, his heart pounding wildly.

"Cough cough, come on, come on." The boy forced himself to calm his inner turmoil. Sinaqi closed her eyes and murmured to herself, "Brother, I will definitely not let you down."

The next second, Sinaqi gripped her greatsword and charged towards the boy. Seeing how fast Sinaqi could run while wielding a greatsword was astounding.

The boy was taken aback at first, but then he came to his senses. Just as Sinaqi was standing in front of him, swinging her greatsword,

The boy, however, calmly gripped the hilt of his greatsword with one hand, holding it upright to the side, intending to block Sina's attack with a single grip.

Considering that the other person was just a girl, being able to wield a greatsword was probably the limit, since there were very few children in the entire Hearth House who wielded greatswords.

Not to mention that Naki is the only girl in the Hearth House who uses a greatsword, and Donat completely disregards Naki's attacks.

Thinking that a girl's ability to wield a greatsword was already at its limit, one wondered how much damage she could possibly inflict with a swing. Finally, under Donat's confident gaze...

Sinaqi's greatsword struck his, and instantly the boy, like a baseball, was swept away by Sinaqi's horizontal sweep along with the wooden sword.
