Not related to the latest update, but did you know someone already made an anime adaptation of Ling Qi showing Meng Dan the corpse-immortal's storage ring???

[X] It can't hurt to try. The Weilu are ancient after all, surely most everyone had a drop or two of their blood in them. Imagine how useful it would be, to claim some ancient connection.
What I would really like is to have our mother try the tapestry too. Because any difference would have to come from our father, and might give some very interesting results.

Not the Luo, they are one of the count clans.
The He are servants of the Liu. They are viscounts from Diao lands.

[X] There was no need for it. The character for Ling meant 'Zero' and that is what she had started as. If there were any lineage she would claim, it was her teachers, claimed through her own effort.
I just don't like the implication that the other option would have Ling Qi use her blood diplomatically. I'm not adverse to Ling Qi learning her lineage, but I'd want her to keep it to herself.

I don't like the implication of the wording of this vote that LQ's primary reason for doing it would be for political leverage in future negotiations.
I'd support this vote if it was for the curiosity and intrigue of the Hidden Moon, but not as is.

The wording of the vote seems to me more like a rationalization of the desire to indulge in the curiosity expressed before the vote itself. Like saying, "yeah I would do this totally because it can be useful in the future, totally not just because I want to see what happens if I do so"

Why can't it be both. We can be curious and seek to satisfy the Hidden Moon, as well as use the knowledge to our advantage politically. It's not one or the other, the motivations don't contradict. Ling Qi is a complicated person, but a lot of the arguments both for and against seem to want to pigeon-hold her into making this choice one-dimensional.
I may be shooting myself in the foot here considering I want her to touch it, but I also don't think people are being fair to the second option. Right now it is being defined simply as the option where we don't indulge our curiosity, but its more than that. It's an affirmation of our mentors and family, it's us basically saying "I'm defined by who I surround myself with, not my blood", which is valuable in its own right instead of just being the "safe" option.
Edit: I will add that just because I see the second option as an affirmation of our family doesn't mean the first option is anything like a rejection of them. Yrs said this was essentially a vote for our first impulse, so the way I read the vote is:
Option 1 Impulse: Ohh, cool, I'm curious to see what happens if I touch it. Who knows, maybe knowing will even be useful later?
Option 2 Impulse: Nah, I don't need to know. I have my mentor and my family so what does it matter?

One of our mentors would 110% want us to touch it tho.

Traditionally, human genetic morphology has darker skin in locations where there is higher exposure to sunlight. Such as equatorial zones, and to a much lesser degree, polar regions. But cultivation allows for much greater travel, so people being a long way from their ethnic origins is quite feasable.
Edit: Spirit blood will also have an effect on visual appearance and morphology.

Which is exactly my point? I would rather Ling Qi not tie herself to any ancestral name she learns when poking the thing.
The comment you replied on was a reply to someone who tried to tie it to Ling Qi's curiosity and whimsy which while technically correct, also ignores the fact that this vote as you say, sets precedence to what Ling Qi's character will think or do afterwards.
And as I said again, I would rather follpw through on the choice to not pick Lei (or have Ling Qi chart her musical journey "alone" without the notes as guidance) except this one just deals with ancestry.

Only way for anything to come of this would be if Ling Qi's unknown father was somehow strongly blood tied to the Tsu. There's just no other way for her to somehow be especially connected to the Tsu. Most likely, we'll just get confirmation that Ling Qi, and more importantly her father, isn't strongly related. If the one in a billion chance (disclaimer: not the actual odds) that Ling Qi somehow is strongly tied to the Tsu happens, that would create a really cool storyline to look into later, with an actual lead for her to follow to find her dad.
