For letting people know that he's already preparing to change careers, it's actually a little ploy by Lin Ye.
In the last life, he held the career change item given by Liu Qingshan, and sought a career change channel at the Southern Church Court. It was just because he was not a Church Court member, he faced a lot of pressure from them.
It was also at that time that he happened to meet Liang Houyun, and with his assistance, he successfully completed the career transition to Anger Flame Priest.
But according to the timeline of the last life, it was something that happened more than two years later.
At that time, Liang Houyun had been fired from the school due to poor performance, and went back to idle away his time at the Church Court.
This life, transitioning careers two years earlier, Lin Ye certainly wouldn't repeat the same mistake, and go get snubbed and harassed like in the last life.
