Vaguely.
There's also that girl whose staff we sold twice. Whose name I can't even remember.

I disagree. Once arts start having more range, the ability to run around, kiting your enemies or closing the distance would be important once again.
Fortunately Ling Qi is the head of the house, and the entropy she radiates probably won't kill her.

Isn't that under jurisdiction of Hit vs Avoid? I mean, I do agree that Speed is important. Perhaps once range and distance starts coming into play, Speed may or may not have a factor in this aside from relying on Avoid. Though if we think of arts like FVM, it ain't a matter of damage based on range, rather a matter of whether you're in it or not.
Making me think of Archery again. I will not be tempted.

The problem is that Art having range means speed is useless. Speed, or art that increase speed, means going from 20m in a turn to 60m... but arts can already make you teleport to 100-200m away while not being dependant on speed, and range of arts can easily be 400m+.
Being able to run faster doesn't mean anything for combat when everyone has leaps that negate speed. Kiting is done through superior teleports, not through speed.
But what if we find a Cold archery art?

Yeah, but arts spend Qi, while speed doesn't.
And where does your estimation of speed increase comes from?

I like that some time ago people were saying we're free from the curse of Water, yet here we are training Curious Diviner's Eye, a Moon & Water art.
Still waiting on that Dreaming Moon art. Thinking about it though, Grinning gives us Stealth, Hidden gives Perception, Dreaming is going to give us Music/Dance. Wonder what Mother is going to give us since that one is still a very viable option.

There's only two scenarios where speed is actually useful.
1. We are far enough away that their instant movement art can't be triggered towards us.
2. They aren't willing to attack us.
That's it. In all of these situations, as well as in general when it comes to escape, we would be better off using a talisman to teleport out.

Is there never going to be a time when our Speed stat is so high that we'd be able to attack more than once before our enemy makes his/her moves? That not a thing here?

Not everyone has instant movement Arts, not even close. Yes we were unlucky with Ji Rong and Sun Liling, but aside from them how many prople on tournament used instant movement Arts? And remember our recent fight with swordboi? He also didn't use them.
Well...
I'm afraid it's not a thing. Seems like Speed stat cover only movement speed.

Chu Song, Han Fang, Kang Zihao, Shen Hu.... even Meizhen has them. need I go on?
Also, I guess this is ambiguous, but I am not sure if that's not a teleport:
Shes not actually a bunny no, but that was the association that led to the reference
Anyway gonna be locking this up later today so I can get back to speedier updates

[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.

I was under the impression that it was referring to the cultivation penalty. Sluggishness in LQ's meridians has been repeatedly emphasized and I don't think in her capacity as a medical worker Xin would comment on merely normal cultivation. She'd be concerned with illnesses and stagnations like those caused by Ling Qi's now-fading doubt about herself
I'm sort of curious about how @yrsillar plots. Did he set up the entirety of the Sect characters in advance, or fill in with an appropriate mentor figure that became Zeqing?
Are new clans usually much looser in the sense of authority and courtesy they expect out of their subordinates?
I'm curious how clans like the Bai and Cai end up developing into ultra rigid structures that demand obedience from their lessers.
Compared to the nascent Ling clan which has a founder that likely doesn't care about how deeply you bow or if you don't speak in formality.

That's an iaido strike most likely, followed by a domain weapon attack.
He most likely has an art for instant movement as it's relativelly common in yellow level arts (boom leap come to mind), but I do not think that was one.
Classic Feudal authority is actually very weak.
My plotting is fairly loose all things considered, that is probably why I get into a bit of pacing trouble and threads end up dangling sometimes. Part of that is the nature of questing, but part of it is down to my writing process I admit.
Anyway two hour warning on the vote.

[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.
