Healing spells copy everything, I've cleared the Abyss

Of course, Lin Ye wouldn't attend a victory celebration banquet.

For other players in the Temple of the Second Job advancement, the celebration banquet after the annual Temple event is a very important event.

This is because for the vast majority of young professionals, it is a rare opportunity to meet many important and powerful figures.

Even if things don't go perfectly, most of the people present are of similar age, so getting to know more people and expanding your social network is a good thing.

As it turns out, for the vast majority of professionals, it is very difficult to succeed alone.

Having someone to help each other can indeed make things much easier.

However, for Lin Ye, such occasions are no longer necessary. For Lin Ye at present, such occasions only add to the trouble and serve no other purpose.

He naturally didn't want to participate.

"How about it? Just consider it giving Brother Gu face, okay?" Gu Shuai said with a hint of pleading when he saw Lin Ye looking thoughtful.

Liu Sheng left, but Lin Ye, the biggest contributor to the victory celebration, couldn't just run away too, could he?
Although Lin Ye's participation or not would not affect the success of the celebration banquet, his participation would determine the level of the banquet.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Ye were to participate, it would likely attract even more outstanding or top-tier individuals to join.

These people must also want to take advantage of the celebration banquet to get to know Lin Ye.

So while it seems that the main focus of this celebration banquet is all the participants from this year's second-tier skill temple, Lin Ye is undoubtedly the most important.

As the organizer of the banquet, Gu Shuai naturally hoped that Lin Ye could participate.

Lin Ye glanced at Gu Shuai and said somewhat apologetically, "Actually, I would like to participate, but I need to prepare for the Prayer Ceremony in a few days, so I can't attend tonight's banquet."

For Lin Ye, rejecting Gu Shuai didn't cause him any psychological burden.

Besides, this is just a banquet. If Gu Shuai is unhappy about this, then this friendship is over.

Clearly, Commander Gu is not a person without vision; otherwise, he wouldn't have transferred Chen Daosheng to his side in the first place.

The purpose was simply to win over Lin Ye, who at that time had a shallow foundation.

Back then, Lin Ye's fame and strength were far inferior to what they are now. Even back then, Gu Shuai could see Lin Ye's value at a glance and win him over in advance, let alone now.

Although Lin Ye did reject him, at least Lin Ye gave him a reason!

If Lin Ye really doesn't give Gu Shuai any face, he should just refuse directly. Why bother talking nonsense with you?
So even though he was rejected, Gu Shuai wasn't particularly unhappy, though his expression was undeniably a little strange...

"The Prayer Festival? It's not that I'm being nosy, but you... be careful!" Gu Shuai said in a low voice.

Gu Shuai is certainly no fool to be entrusted with the important task of being the head of the front-line settlement workers' center.

Therefore, he naturally knew very well what would happen if Lin Ye participated in the Prayer Ceremony...

The Vatican will definitely make a big deal out of this. Even if they don't do it openly, the mere fact that Lin Ye is going to participate in the Holy Prayer Assembly will surely spread quickly. For ordinary Holy Light practitioners, participating in the Holy Prayer Assembly is a perfectly normal thing, after all, it's one of the few free opportunities for them.

But the forest is different!
If Lin Ye, who is worshipped by the Holy Flame Sect, were to participate in the Holy Prayer Meeting, wouldn't that be lowering his status?
The Vatican had been trying to regain control over the interpretation of the sacred flame, but now Lin Ye had gone to participate in the prayer meeting himself…

Wouldn't that be perfect, allowing the Vatican to exploit them?
If Gu Shuai can't see the pros and cons of this matter, then he has completely wasted his time in this position.

Hearing Gu Shuai's reminder, Lin Ye smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I have a favor to ask of you, Brother Gu."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuai's eyes lit up. He wasn't worried that Lin Ye would make any requests that he couldn't handle.

Because he believed that, given Lin Ye's character and conduct, he would never make demands that were too difficult for him.

Moreover, even if Lin Ye's request exceeds his capabilities, wouldn't he report it?
Using the power of the alliance to gain favor with Lin Ye is a worthwhile deal for him no matter how you look at it.

He then feigned reproach, saying, "What trouble are you talking about? Just say it! There's no trouble between us brothers!"

Lin Ye nodded and said, "It's really not a troublesome matter. If anyone asks me tonight, just say that I'm in seclusion preparing for the Qisheng Assembly in a few days. That's all."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuai was taken aback: "That's it?"

He had just been telling Lin Ye to be cautious about this matter, but now Lin Ye was telling him to use it for publicity?

This has left Commander Gu somewhat confused!
He looked at Lin Ye with some confusion, unable to understand what Lin Ye meant.

Seeing Gu Shuai's bewildered expression, Lin Ye didn't explain, but just smiled slightly and said, "Brother Gu, and if all else goes well, I'd also like to invite the people from the Southern Vatican as well..."

Gu Shuai scratched his head a little. In fact, the Vatican invites people every year.

Moreover, it's not just about victory celebrations; the Vatican is invited to all sorts of alliance affairs and activities.

Judging from the alliance headquarters' intentions, they still hoped that the Vatican would be willing to set aside its competitive mindset. However, the Vatican has consistently ignored the olive branch extended by the alliance.

Nevertheless, the Vatican would maintain a facade of harmony and would send one or two priests to participate in the Alliance's activities to make up the numbers.

“You can rest assured about that…” Gu Shuai said, then suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Lin Ye suspiciously.

Could it be that this guy wants to make it public knowledge that he's going to attend the prayer meeting?

Upon thinking of this, Gu Shuai's eyes immediately lit up!
"Understood. Leave this to me. I guarantee that every attendee tonight will know why you couldn't participate in the celebration banquet!" Gu Shuai immediately patted his chest and made his promise.

Although Gu Shuai didn't know exactly what Lin Ye was planning to do, he was sure he was up to something!

As for what to do, how to do it, and what the results will be...

None of these were on his mind, after all, he was only disappointed that Lin Ye hadn't attended the celebration banquet.

Even if the Southern Vatican were to be bombed tomorrow, it would have absolutely nothing to do with him! (End of Chapter)
