Ji Rong has a weird kind of integrity.
He was salty about being stuck in a fortress. He's gotta be even saltier over having to help rebuild the fortress. I feel like he'd be happiest playing wandering explorer/brigand with Chu Song, basically splitting his actions between sect jobs, cultivation, and mountain exploration, with the occasional spite-driven raid on Cai's assets.
I agree about the likely power level. Unless Yan Renshu had a whole library of techniques that tier for the moon to choose from AE is going to be a target of opportunity rather than purposefully chosen synergy. That doesn't make it bad, mind.
The Bai predate the empire, and thus the sects too.
The sects as monastery or university equivalents could well predate the empire as well.
Not really, considering that beforehand there was no provinces and it was just many many clans warring against each others. clearly there could have been something akin to 'sects', but they were no 'Tradition' of sects that were widespread through all provinces, considering those didn't exist as such and were separate kingdoms/whatever.
Weren't we told that the emperor united the provinces? I was under the impression that pre-empire you had medieval Europe-sized political entities duking it out. That could easily include a monastery/university system. Especially if there have been earlier empires or dynasties that rose and fell.
It was less united the provinces and more united the tribes that occupied the modern-day provinces. I don't think there was any formal provincial system in place before the Celestial Emperor took over.
Medieval Europe had an uniting factor : The Catholic Church. Without a common religious entity the connected university probably wouldn't have emerged.
@yrsillar
Or by asking.
I hope you're not being serious. Not addressing our problems while foisting it onto our friends to deal with in the background sounds like a terrible idea.
Previously we had heard that almost passing a roll gave you a bonus to your next attempt. This is the first I think we've seen of penalties for failure. "Almost passing" must mean by only 1 or 2 points, since "5 or less" still gets a penalty.
I don't see why it's a problem. Yan Renshu probably has a better than even chance of beating Ling Qi in personal combat, but would most likely get wrecked by Meizhen and Cui. It be one thing if Bai needed Ling Qi's help to track him down, but it looks like she's got it in hand.
If she doesn't invite us along to finish him we don't get to loot him! :lol
That's true.
I see it as a problem because Yan Renshu is targeting Ling Qi and will continue to target her; ignoring him while simultaneously foisting dealing with him onto Meizhen is a pretty shitty thing to do to any friend.
