Ling Qi has been taught to dehumanize barbarians to the point that Wang Chao suggesting they are people makes her uncomfortable. Like, they can be made part of the Empire, part of its people, living indistinguishably and considered the same group as her. This blurring of the lines of who barbarians are and who people are is confusing. She knows Cloud Tribesmen are people but she considers them more as like the alien, man eating, filth cultivating ratmen than as people people that just live adjacently.

No I'm pretty sure it's the "cultural genocide" part.

Ling Qi is a highly mobile murder machine, I think this will play to strengths better

An offense is usually better to polish a reputation, and one of our goals is to be very visible in fighting alongside CRX.
Besides I think this will have to do with that mysterious priestess that we missed seeing from an excess of prudence that one time, and I am still curious about what her deal is

More recent arcs have had Ling Qi learning how the empire has censured and destroyed a lot of cultures. A good example of it is when she got SSC and had the a talk about preserving lost cultures that were now lost.

I suspect that while "Wang Chao consider Barbarians people" might makes her uncomfortable, his way of ''winning' the war would make her even more uncomfortable.

I love how Ling Qi just can't get it through her thick skull that she isn't supposed to keep up with Ducal Scions. She expects herself to do as well as them to the point that achieving this extraordinary cultivation doesn't register as such beyond the satisfaction that she's catching up.

The thing is, she kinda is expected to keep up. See Shenhua's explicit challenge to keep no more than 5 spots from CRX by the time we end the sect. And we do know neither CRX nor Shenhua would abide coasting to such a rank without the power to earn it.

It's actually pretty expected for close retainers to stay in lockstep with their liege in terms of cultivation. Granted I don't think anyone here wants LQ to follow CRX to the same degree Jiao followed An, or a black viper follows their white-caste Bai master, but LQ has her own, more partnership-themed take on this with higher SL's, an her ambition's been set at the top for a while now. Provided she can find a good answer to the "what are you cultivating for" question by the time we get to domain name quest+, I don't expect LQ to ever really stop. (Also ducals don't hold complete monopoly over bullshit; you totally get the occasional outlier with insane talent and/or the favor of some great spirits)


Anyway, already posted my reason to vote, so:

Pretty sure it really isn't. She's not there yet.

Give it time, and remember to her acknowledging barbarians are people means acknowledging that one shaman she killed way back was probably a person driven mad with grief over losing his whole family to the empire.

Yeah, this was a girl who just about a year ago saw what was obviously the bow that a man had been teaching his young son to use before his sons death and kept it as a memento and thought "huh undersized bow,weird ritual implement"
