If she tries to pursue us and stop us from interfering I don't think so? I mean, I expect her to make a good faith effort to stop us.

We haven't seen her spirit at all. So it is only an assumption, I suppose - although I think it is a well-founded one, since everyone we've seen with a spirit has it at the same level as themselves except people with newly-obtained spirits.
I think you are underestimating the 3rd-stage cultivator who should have been briefed on our abilities. I expect her to pull out a no-escape effect as soon as we start trying to run away.
Pretty sure this implies that she is confident of being able to stop us from running now that she is in close range.
That being said, she has no reason to know that our movement art is specifically designed for escaping from such thing, since we've never shown that.
Anyway, we know what we must do:
[] She has outright said that she is here to stall you. Escape and join back up with as many of your friends as you can manage. Even if it means dealing with her two lackeys too.

Well, while it doesn't change what you said much Sun Liling's spirt as well as Cui were both still second stage during thunderdom redux.
I read that phrase as "I had to be in stealth to make sure you didn't run, but I failed at that", not "and now you can't run".
Well, she tried to hide and we found her, so we discovered her before she wanted us to. So we should have enough time to make an impact, I think.

Chu Song already proved she is a regular fighter type. Lousy sneaking, even enhanced with an item, and apparently a very strait foward personality. I think it's obvious we'd be at a desavantage in a strait-up fight, but at an avantage ini anything rogue related like sneaking or escaping.
The two minions are obviously weaker and should be easy to bypass, or maybe even knock out as we pass.
Main point is, the enemy wants us away because we hard-counter her even at a lower strength level. Hence, the best move is to make sure we are there to oppose her if need be, rather than pointlessly staled at the vent talking or fighting an irrelevant fight.

Really!? I thought they were 3rd stage. How do you know they were 2nd stage?
@yrsillar While you're here (though not wanting to bug you), following on from our previous question (though it might be something you want to keep secret), how would jumping to higher arts affect our foundation? i.e. is training an art up 5 levels to Late Yellow better for that than grabbing an art that starts at late yellow from the 3rd Floor?
Arts with higher starting levels/higher quality have more 'weight' when I decide what bonuses to give you, but fully mastering a somewhat lower art will outweight one level of a one still in the same realm.
So... like mastering a bunch of early red arts like zephyr's breath would have rapidly diminishing returns, but mastering a few of around fsa's level would give solid results.

A thought. If Song doesn't like Cai for some reason, there is real value in hearing her out. Lady Cai has been somewhat of a polarizing figure, and if we can get more information about exactly what we are getting into, it certainly wouldn't be remiss.

Fights not getting any traction, so voting strategically time.
[X] She wants to talk, then she can talk. You'll listen and plan.
Running is by far the most dangerous option, so lets not. We aren't that invested in Lady Cai.

And, while, I am on team try to do something, if we believe that the fight is probably lost, then talking here best lays the groundwork for any kind of counterstrike later on.

Ugh. I am aware that we won't get the fight I wanted. So I take the option that is the most likely to end up in a fight.
Also talking is bad. Never talk to people. Punch them in the face instead.

[X] Duel her, even if she is above you in cultivation you have a shot. If you can take her out her lackeys shouldn't interfere and she won't be causing any other trouble today.
Come get some. Interesting that she's a tall, muscular, dark-skinned girl with blue eyes wearing braids. Makes me wanna wrassle.

We aren't winning against her, her spirit beast, and her companions. If we run we had better be completely successful in escape, otherwise we're going to be limping home naked after waking up with injures the next day.

We're pretty good at escaping though, between flying, SSC, and our stats. We're much more likely to successfully escape than we are to successfully fight her, as she's likely much more specced for fighting than she is for chasing.
I'm surprised that people are more interested in risking our brand new and more-or-less irreplaceable Gown, our actually-irreplaceable Flute, and everything else we have on us in an attempt to get away from someone with multiple autosuccesses against us, an unknown spirit beast (who may very well be far faster than us if it is e.g. a bird), and time to prepare.
All to try to intervene in one of Cai's fight that we wouldn't even have known about it Song hadn't told us.
