Are we radiating Entropy? Because that could be bad for a mortal to be close to. Wouldnt want to accidentally kill the head of our house.

Sun likely views us as a significant weakpoint to Bai, but I suspect her calculus goes beyond that.

Sun's never beaten us. She's won, multiple times, but beating us has always been pyrric. There hasn't been a time where we couldn' sour the victory and prevent Sun from truly winning.

First time, we ate the sunflowers and allowed an opening for our allies.

Second time, we drew the chase out long enough that Sun wasn't able to capitalize with her allies.

Third time, our loss was narrow enough that no one was impressed by her victory or strength, making the finals between her and Bai further humiliating.

We're a omen of ill fortune for anything Sun's tried to do, and the element she understands the least. She's lived among and clashed with many scions, but we...are strange. Just some girl that showed up at the sect without anything. A nobody.

A nobody that just froze over the outer sect.

Good to see you again too, Elder Jiao!

Confident in Gan's abilities to pull off Sect Points from this one. His troops should still remember the trauma from our training with them. They can pull it off.

Also really glad to see Xin again I freakin knew Xin would get her time after Zeqing. No way she's not keeping watch

As for Sun Liling, my first thought is that I'm surprised she's willing to openly talk to us. Her being a bit more smug than last time we saw her really makes me think she's petty enough to jump for joy over small victories (her being a rank higher than Meizhen)

As other people have pointed out though, there may be some political issues SL's been having over the new heir of the Sun. While I think Sun Shao is still a doting great grandpa and the Sun seems to be all about family, it shouldn't be a surprise that some of it members may be jealous of Sun Liling's position, and really blame her over making the Sun lose a huge amount of face; one of them might be that great uncle whose the new heir.

Really hope Ji Rong pulls Sun Liling out of her petty and self-important mindset (unlikely as it may seem now). I see Ji Rong as someone who's always going to be in a similar position as us meta-wise; When we pull off an Advance Insight, I doubt he's going to be far behind. Rival logic. So while we bond over with CRX, JR attempts to interact more with Liling since I doubt a puppy crush and hate for Cai is the only thing making him stay. There's a clear loyalty there from last we interacted, heck showing more loyalty than how we show loyalty to CRX (work in progress). So yeah, hope Sun Liling gains something out of it, cause she's gonna need to be more social and friendly.

With that said

[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.

Gonna be a contrarian, I think we should spend time with Xiao Fen first, and gain more info about Outer Sect. Mom and Biyu can be of importance later. I SEEEEEE THE OPPORTUNITY to fuck over Kang and help GG

On a sidenote, I'm gonna prepare making art points soon. Been wanting to draw some of the characters like Ji Rong and Gan Guangli. Still trying to look for references for him other than Gamagori.

It's not like the tutoring is going away if we con't vote for it, so might as well go the more the interesting one. because tutoring someone else in basic skills and trying to worm tidbits of intel on the outer sect sound like a pain the ass... and for very little benefit.

Looking back on Ice Mom's words on how we treat Mortal Mom, this seems like the best option to show that we also grew during that encounter.

The thing is, this isn't just Sun Liling going "that dastardly Renxiang"...

Sun Liling shot her a withering look. "Well thanks much," she said in a voice as dry as a desert. "Let me give ya a little advice in return little doggie. Your mistress is gonna have some real trouble in the future. You both made some real bad choices last year."

"Is that so," Ling Qi replied blandly. "I'm sorry princess Sun, I must be misunderstanding, because that almost sounded like a threat."

"Your forgiven," the redhead replied with a smirk. "Just informing ya, opening borders with the Bai… it's just asking for trouble you know? They're pretty bad at policing their domain. It just hurts my poor heart to think of those emerald seas folks living near the border."

I don't even know if Liling realizes this or if she knows and just thinks she can say whatever, but the person she's actually criticizing for bad choices here... is Cai Shenhua. Because neither we nor Renxiang really chose to open things up with the Bai. It never had to go beyond personal friendships. Until Cai Shenhua chose to make it about alliances. So sure, maybe a bit of this splashes down in the Inner Sect, probably in annoyed Cai vassals, but ultimately, it's Cai Shenhua's problem and she's going to deal with it in the Shenhua way.
