Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
[X] While you have provided for them, and you visit from time to time, you cannot help but feel that you have neglected your family. Your mother in particular deserves to be respected enough to know more of the goings on your life. You need to take a day and really talk to her.
 
[X] The time has come for you to fulfill your promise to Bai Meizhen, and begin 'tutoring' her cousin Bai Xiao Fen. Though you will mostly be acting to gather intelligence on the Outer Sect, you will also be legitimately be tutoring her, and hopefully learning more of the Bai than your reticent friend will say.

Going to go against the grain here. The storm may have caused a shake-up on the mountain and it may profit us to appear there right now. With family locked in it's not like they'll be neglected again.

After the wog, I chose to abandon my neutrality. Better to see snek maid as some sort of little sister, rather than adapt the Bai mindset, even partly.
 
Kinda sad that Liling's become decreasingly intimidating. Now it just feels like she's trying too hard. I think that even these types of vaguely ominous threats are the kinda thing to pass up to the boss though.

We already had a meeting with our best mom, and said goodbye to second best mom. No need to rush to third mom :)
A convincing argument

I like the way that Sun appears to be of the opinion that a bunch of schoolchildren who helped in some very small way with kickstarting an alliance somehow remain responsible for it to the point that threatening them would have a chance in hell of accomplishing anything. She's just so self-important that the idea the whole thing was kicked upstairs and is now out of the hands of everyone at her level is inconceivable.
Not sure she's thinking in terms of changing things. Think it's more a follow the leader 'Grandpappy hates you all so I will too' Draco Malfoy type of thinking, and she's getting her kicks in the only way she can.

Don't want to teach anyone until we are a little more on balance. Reconnecting with family ought to help with that.
 
A nice theory was brought up in the discord a moment ago, where she might be doing this because we accidentallied her faction's attempt to seize power again.

Because the Outer Sect Mountain basically had an etch-a-sketch taken to it after the Winter's Muse Tribulation, which means any caches she and her side left behind there is fuckin' gone now.

More importantly, the Cai Faction remnants are better organized, which meant that they were a lot more likely to be the ones who picked up the prizes from the 'Impromptu Trials'. Likely got a solid credit booster too, and ended up defusing Thunderdome on account of blizzard.
If we actually accidentallied a faction again by doing Ling Qi things I am going to be amused as hell.

Lol Sun gets one little victory and starts feeling smug enough to go make vague threats to a vassal. What a salty binch.

And I doubt it's an overture as Ling Qi built her rep by being loyal to her friends so much she made a damn Domain out of it.

Well, that's a scary thought.
Would probably do more damage to Meizhen then their tournament fight.

I don't want to be distracted by any home problems while establishing our relationship with Bai Xiao Fen.

For future reference, would correcting the spelling and grammatical mistakes in the vote make my vote count as a separate one?

It's not her fault most antagonists in xianxia experience villain decay as the protagonist's cultivation improves. Later we might say "Who?" Like we have with so many others.

Did Liling really just seek us out to tell us that her family is so salty they are fucking over some random dudes who happen to live near the border? I mean, if she was simply trying her hand at schadenfreude, she would have gone to CRX and not us because Ling Qi gives approximately zero fucks about some randos.

She's probably trying to say something other than the standard "Fuck you!".

I want to spend time with family dammit. I don't want to pass it up yet again.

I'm hoping this is because she's actually trying to help us subtly and/or disagrees with the rest of her family over this because it sounds so much more interesting than the alternative of "Liling is salty and wants revenge again".
