It definitely seems like Sun Liling manipulated the bracket, though there was probably some pushback to keep it from getting ridiculous. Gan, Lu Feng and Ji Rong in one match was probably something she could get away with, but not like Sun Liling, Ji Rong and Bai Meizhen.
We do have to be wary about somebody possessing a similar talisman in the Round of 16.

Yes, he countered our strategy and relied on his toughness to handle anything we could throw at him while he was working, but he was loosing. If there were another 15 or so yellows we might have had enough time to beat him.
He played well, but I think if the match had lasted longer it would have been a win in our book.
Yes, it seems that we, and more to the point Cai, were beaten at the political game, that is actually a really poor showing from Cai - I am sure her Mother noticed.

Ya know thinking about it, while Shen Hu has some issues with over cultivating and seems to have an cultivation art which encourages fugue states I actually want to work on a working relationship with him. He's powerful, his arts provide a contrast to ours (Languid Summer Art) which I think could provide some insight into our own stuff like Elegy, and he has a pretty calm and happy seeming personality. Not sure if he has any noble background, but linking him with the Ling family through some kind of business relationship or something seems workable past the Inner Sect.
Or if he stays on as a friend in the Sect which could be quite helpful, both in Inner next year and after we leave. Seems a good idea to maintain multiple ties to our alma mater as it were.

To be fair.
The problem here is that Shenhua basically tied Renxiang's hands from the start. She can't get any support aside from her name unless she buys it in performance.
While all these other houses aren't so frugal, and are perfectly willing to use their influence to gain advantage.
Renxiang literally has no way of playing the political game here because Shenhua is the only weapon she can use, and Shenhua does what she wants (And what she wants is for Renxiang to have a hard time. Either she'll be tempered and be better, or she'll lose and that's all she was capable of)

Also, CRX and Meizen are loading the brackets by bringing in some yellows.
How nice of them.
How nice of them.
[X] Speak with Meizhen, see how she's holding up with her family here
You would have died. Horrifically. Snake food, turtle food, winter woman ice statue, whatever.

Actually, I think it's likely Shenua set these matches up, or at least let them be set up. She clearly was leery of her daughter's vassals and likely wanted to see them tested hard. She was more critical of Gan even, and he got the harder setup.
Why do I get the feeling Qi's eyes will be glowing red sometime later on in the tournament?
[X] ...Seek out Shen Hu, he gave you quite a runaround, it can't hurt to make nice with a peer like him
Because he seems interesting, and having a friend in the inner sect once Qi leaves besides Xiulan seems like it'd be a good idea.

Yeah having Meizhen around in the inner sect will definitely be great.
They didn't have much choice; I don't think there were more Greens around to do otherwise.

I guess, but it's a bad metaphor, because running out of health and ammo packs is the end condition for the fight.
Wait, I thought the losers were kept locked up in the dungeons below the tournament grounds?
How can we talk to Gan if that's the case @yrsillar?

Probably nothing stopping us from visiting.
Or alternately, the angst dungeon is for the ones who are literally suicidal.
... I meant after Qi leaves in a year.
Hahahaha! I just realized! People have been doing opposition research!

"Yes."

"Normally she's much quieter than this!"
"Sure, sure. Don't worry, I'll make sure your seeing eye/hearing helper spirit is something nice."
"This is a stealth expert?"
"...yes."

You'll be able to talk to him in the tourney building, along with Renxiang.
