There is no way we are getting Li Suyin to leave the sect. Even for a time. I wouldn't want to try either. She in the top 500. She deserves her spot and the support she'll get.

Su Ling would flee like being chased by bees if offered a chance to get attached to a diplomatic mission to open trade talks with a foreign country with the province heir running the show and increasing noble attention

Speaking of, we should put Hou Min and Nie Ai in a headlock and drag them along on our next adventure before they realize we're back and find a place to hide.
She could duck out by giving up the title, but she lacks a liege she could trust.

People aren't being quick enough to dismiss diplomacy route as abandoning certain characters and sacrificing influence in the empire.
See I can do it too.

[X] Take a central role in diplomacy with the White Sky
Okay lets go off this.
I'm fine losing these things. As we've made the decision not to be a sect lifer, we were never going to gain access to the truly profound resources of the sect. The resources of the Duchess can make up for it.
I'm fine with these compared to their alternatives. Doesn't really matter to me.
This is absolutely the most important thing. Cultivation novels have taught me that B E N E F I T S reign supreme. Sect and elders storylines are nice and all, but they can't compare to the increasingly profound stuff we'll need to keep making rapid breakthroughs, and again, we aren't a sect lifer so we aren't going to be a top priority for that.
To be honest, a lot of them have been fairly irrelevant anyways. There's a few like Meizhen we'll want to keep in touch with, but a number of them don't have much to offer us.
This is the point that most concern me about ice diplomacy. We still have a precarious standing with the greater nobility. Making it harder on ourselves to forge connections is rough. We can make up for that by making our sister begin cultivating. A big part of this problem is Ling Qi's clan is new and she doesn't have qualified subordinates of her own to delegate this kind of networking to. When we start scouting a fief we might consider recruiting some talented commoners to sponsor at the Sect ourselves.
We've already hit our relationship with the sect by going straight to Shenhua. It kind of sucks to hit it again. Even if we were never going to be a Sect lifer, the Sect is still a significant faction and it would be nice to keep them on our side if possible.
But all that said, it seems like Ice diplomacy still offers the greatest advantages.
