The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

"Lin Ye, come over here!"

Yan Xun waved at Lin Ye, indicating for him to sit by his side.

The head of the Southern Alliance Headquarters inviting a young man to sit beside him shows just how much importance he places on this young person.

It's important to know that most city lords or center leaders don't even have the qualifications to sit next to Yan Xun when it comes to level.

Even Gu Shuai, the overall head of the Professional Center in a major settlement like Shenzhen, is under Yan Xun's jurisdiction.

Lin Ye nodded at Yan Xun, walked over quickly, pulled out a chair, and sat down in one fluid motion without showing any sign of fear.

Once Lin Ye sat down, the atmosphere of the scene returned to an eerie coolness.

Evidently, the communication between Gu Shuai and Qin Lu's side before Lin Ye's arrival was far from pleasant; otherwise, the atmosphere wouldn't be so serious.

"You know why we called you, right?" Qin Lu asked, his sinister gaze fixed on Lin Ye.

Evidently, he was trying to use his Fourth-Turn Professional aura to oppress Lin Ye.

Hoping to break Lin Ye's psychological defenses.

However, Lin Ye didn't look at Qin Lu even once and instead turned his gaze towards Gu Shuai.

Gu Shuai immediately understood, knocked on the table, and said, "Bishop Qin, we called Lin Ye here not for you to interrogate him like a criminal, but because we also want to understand what exactly happened last night. Please be mindful."

"Hmph!"

Qin Lu snorted coldly and withdrew his oppressive aura.

"So, young Lin Ye, can you tell us everything that happened on the Champion Battlefield at that time?" Ding Hongsheng, next to Qin Lu, spoke.

As the Vice President of the Mad God Guild, his strength was considerable, having reached Level 90.

He hadn't undergone the Fourth Transition, remaining at Third Transition.

Yet, no one dared underestimate him…

A Level 90 Professional in human society is rare, possibly one in a hundred thousand.

He is an absolute pinnacle existence.

As for Qin Lu, although he's already Fourth Transition, his level is merely 90, and given his age, he is likely to start degrading soon.

Compared to Ding Hongsheng, who is still in his prime, Qin Lu, with his aging and Fourth Transition status, will experience more severe degradation.

After all, the higher the Professional's level and transformation count, the greater the impact of degradation.

An aged hundred-level powerhouse, once degradation begins, could potentially drop ten levels in a year at the rule level!

Even if he seems to be at hundred-level, he might realistically be less than level 10.

Lin Ye was certain that Qin Lu didn't have many years left.

Because in Lin Ye's previous life entering the Church Court, Qin Lu had long since stepped down, so Lin Ye didn't know much about Qin Lu.

"Vice President Ding, everything that occurred back then, to my knowledge, has already been reported to the Alliance; you can check the report," Lin Ye replied with neither humility nor arrogance.

Ding Hongsheng maintained his smile, saying, "But now some discrepancies have surfaced in your report; otherwise, we wouldn't have sought you for clarification."

Pausing, he added, "Of course, we're not doubting you; rather, we're concerned you might have misremembered something, correct?"

This guy spoke carefully; though he was indeed questioning Lin Ye between the lines, he left no room for critique.

"So, what exactly is it?" Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

As the instigator, Lin Ye's mind was perfectly clear, but so what?

"Why don't you explain what happened last night?" Ding Hongsheng turned to the two people behind him.

These two were the direct witnesses to all that transpired last night, the two Mad God Guild executives Lin Ye had let go.

The hefty man recounted the events plainly.

All details were thoroughly described, except for the part about Sikong Ming stepping in to kill to prevent a war; other parts were not exaggerated.

He only mentioned that they were marching in the wilderness when attacked by a mysterious person claiming to be "Sikong Ming," resulting in the sacrifice of a Church Court Knight Commander.

As for their marching purpose, that was deliberately left unspoken.

Even though everyone present knew full well what they intended to do then…

If they wouldn't admit it, no one could do anything about it.

After all, not even the Alliance has the power to prevent anyone from exploring the wilderness.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many adventurers active outside the settlement areas.

"Sikong Ming, senior?"

Lin Ye muttered in apparent disbelief.

Throughout the entire process, his expressions evolved, going from nonchalant to gradually realizing the oddity, and then to confusion and shock; he demonstrated every expected emotion impeccably.

"It's impossible; senior Sikong Ming already perished on the battlefield…" he continued to mutter.

Meanwhile, Ding Hongsheng watched Lin Ye's performance with a constant squinting smile.

"Is he really dead?" Qin Lu pressed on, unwilling to admit defeat.

"Or what? Are you afraid of him?" Lin Ye looked up, asking perplexedly.

"What did you say?" Qin Lu stood up abruptly, glaring at Lin Ye.

Clearly, he was enraged and embarrassed, having his hidden fear exposed by Lin Ye.

"Bishop Qin, mind the occasion," Yan Xun reminded again.

"Seems someone is masquerading under the name of senior Sikong Ming for malevolent acts…" Ding Hongsheng stood up and whispered a few words to Qin Lu.

After that, Qin Lu snorted coldly, shot a deep glance at Lin Ye, then turned and left.

As for Ding Hongsheng, he gestured to the others, saying, "City Lord Yan, President Gu, and young friend Lin Ye, this matter ends here; we shall take our leave now."

"Take care," Gu Shuai said, neither warmly nor coldly.

Yan Xun didn't even glance at Ding Hongsheng; the Mad God Guild may wear the label of the first guild, but assisting the Church Court in such fruitless affairs truly deserves disdain.

Ding Hongsheng didn't get angry at the Alliance members' reactions; instead, he turned and quickly caught up with Qin Lu, leaving the office.

"Way to go, Lin Ye! You really infuriated that old red-robed mutt!"

Gu Shuai said, relishing the situation without care.

Given his and Yan Xun's positions, it wasn't quite suitable for them to make such remarks.

After all, they are high-ranking officials of the Alliance, and the open and secret struggle between the Alliance and the Church Court isn't a secret, but they won't tear each other apart openly.

Yet Lin Ye isn't part of the Alliance and is merely a young fledgling…

With Lin Ye's status, making an 'innocent' remark to rebuke a Great Pope, what's the harm?

Would a Great Bishop actually get angry with a youngster?

If word got out, it'd be quite embarrassing.

But they obviously had their own doubts too…

How had Sikong Ming resurrected after death?

According to Lin Ye's previous report, Sikong Ming should have long since fallen; how could he appear in this world again?

But if not Sikong Ming, then it's hard to explain who killed the Church Court's Knight Commander last night and prevented the war from escalating…

After all, if it were a Space Mage, only that individual could possess such profound and elusive power.
