The system is the proficiency panel

Standing in front of Lin Ji's door, Ye Zichen took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to relax his body and not be too nervous, but he couldn't do it.

Regarding the battle during the day, her original worst plan was that she would be seriously injured. She didn't expect Lin Ji to really kill her at that time. However, she was resurrected later, so she was just a little uncomfortable with Lin Ji himself. After all, her life was no longer her own. Even if Lin Ji really killed her, she would probably only be confused and regretful.

But the shadow of death remained in his heart, and the feeling of pain and powerlessness could not dissipate for a long time, making it impossible for him to face Lin Ji calmly.

In a few days...

No, tomorrow, I will figure it out in just one night, and then I will be able to face my brother calmly again.

Thinking of this, Ye Zizhen was wavering, not knowing whether to knock on the door or leave first and come back tomorrow.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound and the door was opened from the inside, followed by Lin Ji's voice.

"come in."

These words seemed to have magical power, making Ye Zizhen feel relieved and walked into the house with heavy steps.

I saw Lin Ji sitting on the bed, holding a book in one hand and supporting her chin with the other, looking out the window, as if thinking about something. She took a few steps forward and pursed her lips before speaking.

"Brother, I want to go out and play with Ruoye for a while."

"Do you know why I killed you once?"

Lin Ji did not answer, but looked directly into the other person's eyes and asked a question. Ye Zizhen was silent for a while before replying.

"…I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have taken my life so lightly just for a birthday."

As she spoke, Ye Zizhen's eyes turned red, tears were brewing inside and she felt like they would fall at any time. She felt very wronged, she just wanted Lin Ji to attend her birthday party.

Seeing Ye Zizhen's aggrieved look, Lin Ji couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. No matter in the previous life or this life, he had no children and he really didn't know how to educate a child. The reason why he could kill the 12-year-old Ye Zizhen so decisively before, in addition to punishment, was partly because he himself had died many times in the Tower of Trials when he was 12 years old.

Death in the Tower of Trials is actually very painful, because it can completely simulate the feeling of the soul slowly dissipating, which is more terrible than the pain of physical death.

This time, Ye Zizhen died before he could experience the feeling of his soul's demise. This also made Lin Ji realize that although she was relatively mature and sensible, she was still just a twelve-year-old child and could not apply her own experiences to others.

So Lin Ji walked up to her, put his hand on her head, gently comforted her and spoke in a soft tone.

"Don't cry. You deserve to be punished for taking your own life lightly, but I really went too far this time. It's my fault."

These words did not stop Ye Zizhen's tears. Instead, they surged forth like rain. She threw herself into Lin Ji's arms and cried loudly, venting her fear of death.

After a while, the crying gradually stopped, and Ye Zichen left Lin Ji's arms, wiped the tears from his face, straightened his clothes, smiled again, and looked up at Lin Ji.

"Brother, I forgive you this time. What about my birthday present?"

Ye Zizhen said as he stretched out his hand to ask Lin Ji for a gift. Lin Ji smiled helplessly, and a golden diamond-shaped gem appeared in his hand. He put it in the other's hand and said.

"This is the Gold Element Demon Pill. Some time ago, the Mecha Corps cleared the surrounding demon beasts and obtained a large amount of resources. I picked one for your birthday present. Its grade is just right for your cultivation."

"Thank you, brother. I'll go out and play now."

Ye Zizhen accepted the demon pill with a smile, and it seemed that she had walked out of the haze of death. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Lin Ji spoke again.

"There is something about you that you need to know."

As he spoke, Lin Ji released a ray of spiritual power that wrapped around Ye Zizhen's head, transmitting to her the memories of the Ruo family, Ruo Ye, and today's conversation.

Ye Zizhen's smile gradually stiffened as he quickly browsed through his memories, and he murmured to Lin Ji.

"Brother, this is impossible. You must be overthinking it."

"Am I overthinking? You'll know if you go and take a look. Wear this thing. It will protect you in case of an accident."

Lin Ji put a silver bracelet on Ye Zizhen's right hand, then patted her shoulder, indicating that she could leave.

Ye Zizhen looked at Lin Ji, then at the bracelet, turned and ran out of the room. She would definitely prove that Ruoye was innocent.

Outside the banquet hall.

Seeing that Ye Zizhen had not arrived for a long time, Ruoye, who had been waiting for more than ten minutes, couldn't help but become worried. With Ye Zizhen's personality, it was impossible for him to take so long. Did something happen?

Could it be that her plan was discovered? Impossible, they had been hiding very well. Even if they were discovered, with Sister Ming's Qi and Spirit both breaking through the limit, her strength approaching that of a third-level martial saint, and her mental strength being extremely strong, it was impossible that they would not notice it at all.

Thinking of this, Ruoye felt relieved. When she was about to ask a maid to lead the way to find Ye Zixin, she saw a petite figure appear in the distance. It was Ye Zixin. She trotted up to Ruoye, raised the silver bracelet on her wrist, and said embarrassedly.

"Ruoye, I'm sorry. My brother just gave me a gift, which delayed me a little. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

There was a faint glow on the surface of the bracelet, and Ruoye could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary item, but she did not delve into it and just praised it.

"Zi Xin, this bracelet is very beautiful and suits you very well."

Ye Zizhen was also very happy to hear this, and raised the bracelet to show off.

"Yeah, and my brother said that this bracelet can protect me. It's pretty powerful."

"Your brother is so good to you!"

Ruoye sighed, with envy revealed in her eyes.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go quickly. If we're any later there won't be any seats left."

Ye Zizhen said as he pulled Ruoye out, thinking in his heart, he was indeed good to me, except that he stabbed me once during the day.

……

As the night falls and the stars twinkle, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually sinks into the gentle night. Under this quiet curtain, a bustling street quietly wakes up. That is the largest snack street in Hongxia City. The street lights there are dim and warm, and rows of antique stalls are spread along the street. The air is filled with various aromas, which are temptingly intertwined and teasing the taste buds of every passerby.

Ye Zizhen and his friend were holding various grilled skewers in their hands, eating and chatting as they strolled down the street. There were some unknown kind-hearted people in front of them who helped clear the way so that the two would not be swept into the crowd.

After walking for a while, Ye Zizhen looked at the dense crowds of people around her. She hadn't been here for a long time and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Ruoye, I don't think there were so many people here before. Is today a festival?"
