Chances are high that if she is open to the idea at all, it'll be us. If we trust our judgment so much, put your money where your mouth is.

Now, this might not be how things end up playing, but in the broad strokes, I think it's a plausible assessment.
No, I think you are likely right on the money. It also likely that we will get diplomatic/intrigue mission in White tribe anyway. The question is in what context and this whos baking.
 
The rest were suffering from some terrible toxin, and while the Sect was keeping them alive, they were not waking up. Liao Zhu was among them.

She had seen him in the infirmary and the memory still felt bizarre. Liao Zhu was not meant for stillness and silence she felt. Though he looked unharmed, Ling Qi had been able to feel the sickness in his spirit, that awful dissolving sensation that had brushed her when she had met that spirit.
As usual, I am a filthy terrible biased fan. HUSBANDO...................... HUSBANDOOOOOOOOO............ I swear if there's options to try to help Moon Senpai, I Will Take Them......

I'm not anti-Sect but honestly it feels like its just. more or less proper?

I would be more interested in the sect option if it involved elders we already had a connection with. Burning Queen and pissed off brother in law are not inspiring any confidence in their pursuing a diplomatic option. Even in the military you could exercise discretion on who to report shit to (culturally savvy S2 or an S3 who just wants to find targets to take out.)
 
Yeah

The continued strange lack of any visible anti-nomad doctrine aside, and the weird demographics, the Sect has actually been fine here (even if they're uninterested in anything other than killing barbarians). Their plan was solid, and was working fine. The sudden starstone interrupt was out of left field.

Who needs a doctrine / competent intelligence when you have endless manpower? Just throw more disciples at a problem until it goes away.

Cai mom over elders, anyday.

Baking with Shenhua, i bet she does the best cookies. :V

Eh? I made a mistake but it became something hilarious? Guess my english is progressing flawlessly. :V
Heh, baking with Shenhua, sounds like a culinary show. A very violent one.
Edit: from what we learned in this ark she likely know how to brake some eggs.

[X] Catch the Elder's attention, and speak of the strange encounter.

I'm just in a Grinning mood and, paired with my ever-present Hidden curiosity, I wanna know what the elder has to say about the encounter. We're talking to Shenhua later anyway, so this is a vote to just get More. In keeping with my Grinning mantle, more is always better, and I staunchly refuse to appreciate the consequences of my actions.

Because being the point woman on a new frontier of diplomacy is what Renxiang wants from us in terms of dealing with nobility of any kind

And Shenhua is the most likely to let Ling Qi sink or swim here on that basis by letting her take point. Probably by sweetening the pot in case of success as well

Theres just more to offer Ling Qi in terms of relevance and reputation here then if the Sect took point in how to handle things moving forward with the White Sky tribe

agree. Shenhua is very much herself, and enjoys cultivators that assert their own way. If it's a way that comes into direct conflict they will be overwhelmed of course, but Merit and Acting of your own instincts are valued. When your instincts are good, at least.

I believe that Shenhua will very much appreciate our Domain Choice when she sees we felt obligated to save the small-folk. Well. Nobles, but small to us at least lol

we also went the Sincere route.

I. I actually wonder if there's going to be some shenanigans now. Like. Direct interference in plans type shenanigans.
We're all of a sudden dealing with a lot of power outside of the norm, and we're doing well still. We uncovered a mondo secret of the Barbs through our stealing actions, and did a diplo-through-music emergency diplo mid battle. The Moons have to be pretty happy about that.

Maybe during our cooldown downtime gardening with our son we'll have some nice social interactions too? just little ones, alongside the gardening. I'd like that. like a month of interludes almost. social time with Zhengui with cameos from our important allies that are in dire need of rest.

Seriously. So many of our friends and allies need a nice relaxation and recuperation moment. I think it will be nice to have a Downtime Arc that just. chillll
think about the past, the present and future.
hug our son <3 hug our adopted sis <3 hug our cousin <3 hug mom and biyu <3 good times
 
... i will also mention that we have a weilu body coming back to life. Just to bring it to light of our current shenanigans... just saying

Your wish is likely to come true. We have a music club gathering this month.
"Why do I feel like a rabbit caught between two snakes?" Ruan Shen grumbled good naturedly. "In any case Bian Ya, would like to join our discussions. If you have the time this month, Junior Sister, the invitation stands."

Ling Qi considered her tentative project with Zhengui, and Ruan Shen's musical preferences. "I would be happy too, if you would still have me, Senior Brother."
So yeah, there would be some nice slice of life a little later.
