[X] Shen Hu approached you for once. He has found the abandoned lair of an underworld dragon, but is not confident that he can face the scavengers that fill it unopposed.

this should be 'she' since nobody else would need to say the line before aside from Ling Qi.
And this is a nice way to show the Outer Sects happenings. Woo go Su Ling! Peeps are gonna say we have an 'eye for talent' or some other bullshit if we keep this up.
I wanna vote for Zengui to be buffed up as well, but this seem more pertinent.

I wouldnt mind switching to the Zengui vote if it would prevent the 'social hunt' to win though.

To be honest... I'm slightly surprised that more people aren't voting for the Luo SL option. All the options are tempting me, but it just feels to me that the Luo hunt option is of some import if we want to start actually making headway in the political mess we are in.

I would be voting for Luo if I didn't prioritize the ship based on shipping rights above all else.

Man, the Cai haven't let me down yet.
This is easily first world standards here, and if we're honest significantly better than just about anywhere I can think of. As in, I'd move there in a heart beat, even with "death world" standards outside its walls.
Now if Renxiang starts setting some clearer milestones and when we need to hit them I'll be satisfied.

[X] Xuan Shi is the closest thing to an expert on Xuan Wu that you know, and your liege has asked you to get closer to him. He's also not a bad sort, perhaps together you can put Zhengui through his paces?

Switching to approval, partially because I like the politics action, partially to edge out inferior husband candidates.

@yrsillar Is the Luo hunting invite a time sensitive option or no? It all comes down to that, frankly--which options we'll have the chance to do again.
Edit: To fellow voters: would it really be so bad if we told Luo we'd like to come next month instead? I'd imagine LQ would say she's busy cultivating or something--which is a perfectly valid excuse. Surely Luo and his buddies would know how busy a cultivator's schedule can be? If they're really snubbed and retract the invite, I'd see that as a little oversensitive and unrealistic.

I would also be happy with the Xuan Shi option, but I feel like I've been wanting to do a Shen Hu aside for a long while now and he keeps getting shunted off to the side. And I could do with a cool dragon lair.
I totally am hoping for Xuan Shi option next time around to follow this though

Hopefully we can finally find out why Zhengui dislikes Xuan Shi so much. Perhaps it'll lead to some ZG character development?

No-one's suggesting we're going to lose the option. That is not the concern. We have, however, been criticised for all our friends being foreigners. Going and actively reinforcing that by sending the message that, yes, we don't consider our fellow emerald sea nobles important is really not going to start us off on the best footing. Like, I would consider "Ling Qi makes some excuse to snub them" to be the worst scenario here. Alectai's "Luo is having difficulties" would be vastly preferable.
(I will also point out that no, I would not expect most most people's schedules to be like ours. Ling Qi is actively a crazy person. The typical teenager here is not going to be cultivating 140 hours a week. Also networking is 50% off the reaosn they're here, so...)
let's go over the possible benefits of each option:
[] Shen Hu approached you for once. He has found the abandoned lair of an underworld dragon, but is not confident that he can face the scavengers that fill it unopposed.
This would bring Shen Hu to SL 2 and it could be a fun adventure. It also gives the best loot chances. However, Shen Hu is politically irrelevant, so we can expect no gain there.
[] Luo Zhong has invited you to join his clique on a hunt, it is an opportunity to learn more of the factions which divide the emerald seas
This might get us Luo Zhong SL 1, maybe. The material profit from this option is minor at best. Instead the real gain of this option is information about the political factions within ES and the chance to get to know potential friendly noble kids. This is also a chance to start fixing our bad reputation with the ES nobility.
[] Xuan Shi is the closest thing to an expert on Xuan Wu that you know, and your liege has asked you to get closer to him. He's also not a bad sort, perhaps together you can put Zhengui through his paces?
This could get us Xuan Shi SL 3, and it might help zhengui with his training. Material benefits dont exist, but friending Xuan Shi is one of the jobs CRX gave us and having a friend with the Xuan clan would be good from a political perspective too, though it probably wont help with our problems within ES.
