Seems like Motion means Qi is having fun with the Stealing Game, while Want is Qi seeking to make a deeper connection quickly?

Odds on this aren't bad especially if we throw omake points at it. Our physical cultivation seems to generally lag behind and if Song Seeker Ceremony continues to give XP bonuses as we have seen it in the past (Hidden and Dreaming giving spiritual and Grinning giving physical) it's going to become a larger gap. Besides, do we want to settle for only a bit more or a good chunk more? Let's be a little greedy.

In light of him talking about Ling Qi being too reserved, going for it here feels more dramatically appropriate.

Huisheng is a disciple of the Grinning Moon who Ling Qi has equated to boldness and confidence, and the Dreaming Moon who Ling Qi has equated to ambition. He has at every opportunity encouraged Ling Qi to be audacious and grasping and admonishes her when she limits herself out of fear. We can't take the defensive approach which he would outright disapprove of, but I think between being careful and bold he would be pleased if we were bold. Even considering risk/reward for cultivation exp grasping is worth it, meaning if we were to make this choice every time we came here we would be best to always grasp hungrily if we wanted to reach of cultivation goals.
Even when losing, the "???" is likely the possession Sue Yue talked about, which would be Huisheng's equivalent to Zeqing's mark and could be outright advantageous in the long term. Shu Yue didn't think he was malicious and it was Xin who introduced us to him in the first place, so if our elders trust his intentions and we should too. There are only benefits to being greedy here because our teacher is trying to teach us to be greedy, and beyond just this vote if we want a relationship with him then we have to prove that we're what he wants in a student. Because if we dared to risk it and lost I think there's a fair chance he'd still reward us with the "???", because by daring to fail we are most like him and so he might put the true reward on failure. He also enjoys Ling Qi's carefulness around him and maybe he recognizes her characteristic fear as something that will serve her well as long as she still a little greedy, but I think his lesson here is in daring.

Actually, being greedy doesn't really get us anything significant at the moment, funny enough. Due to breakpoints, we really could use Motion more, as its harder to raise Motion(things Qi associates with having fun) than Want(things Qi associates with power or connection)
