OK, but I still don't see a guarantee that the 1 that passes will be safe then. The safe person will only be the one that's being returned to the entrance?

Write-ins shouldn't be the "only safe answers", so that seems unecessary. We also just got into a row by hinting to Meizhen she was fragile, so let's not do that a second time by waiting for her to pass through as well as proposing to give her basic adventuring items.
She has those, and she doesn't like it when we think she isn't in control.

@TheLastOne I am sorry if my discussion with you got a bit heated. However with 5 major actions you can get the cultivation actions you want and I can argue for quests since I think sect quests are the best thing that ling qi can do for resources management.

Well shucks, all my math has gone out the window 
. Great update Yrsillar!
Anyway, I believe a clue can be found from the name of the event. It's the serpent's treasure, not the mouse's. So I would say that we should totally volunteer to let Meizhen go first. We got the art, we got a location, we can share the bat cores with her when she returns. I would say that this adventure is a success for us in that regard.

Anyway, back to the drawing board for the math. Let's see how far we can go with the new additions!

Nope not sure at all. We haven't seen a roll where someone is multiple stages ahead of us. I'm just going with the how I think the math would go. Both ways still paint a wide gulf it just makes more sense to me to multiply multiple times for each realm. Each realm gets more overwhelming than the last.
36 vs 72 autos.
9x4 or 9x2x2x2

We shall see what comes of this.

Lets say this is a test of teamwork from the elders. In that case, volunteering to leave is likely the right choice, or at the very least it isn't the wrong choice. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a reward waiting for us at the entrance, honestly - though I'm not counting on it.
Alternatively, imagine that the situation is exactly as it appears. Maybe we can pass the turtle somehow, but maybe it crushes us and Bai both like the bugs we are (relative to it). Whatever the reward is, it is hardly worth the risk.
As a further note, I'm kinda happy we get to concede in favor of Bai here. So far, this whole trip was supposed to be us returning a favor, but has ended up playing out more like Bai giving us an opportunity on a silver platter; just another debt on our end. I like the idea of balancing the scales somewhat.

On one hand, we can no longer do six cultivation action turns, but we don't need them as much because with three minor actions we won't be taking the 2 or 3 cultivation action turns. This is actually pretty favorable, though I wonder what closed door cultivation looks like here.

It'd be the shortest word count for a weekly action ever!! Unless we manage the next level or something...

So it doesn't even close down pill week. This is the best thing to happen to us since we earned our first extra action.
Honestly, if we approach this as a test of friendship and cooperation, both refusing is probably the Golden ending.
One refusing is normal ending, and both attack is "Admirable, but you both going to die now" suicidally brave ending.
Convincing Meizhen to go for "Both refuse" is probably impossible; the only hope for her to figure it out herself when Ling Qi shows her willingness to sacrifice her progress in order to help her.
Oh, and we can try trading, I guess, but since it is under direct orders... I dunno if anything is going to come out of it. Probably not.

You want to negotiate with a giant turtle which can kill us with a thought? What exactly do we have to offer? Only thing remotely valuable we have is the pieces of the core from that beast, and somehow I don't think that's a smart idea.

The terms are pretty clearly already set. We brought up good points in the update and the tortoise just doesn't seem to care for any reasoning we can bring to the table. Also doesn't hold us in any esteem.
I wouldn't really bet on 'both refusing' being ideal. It'd makes too much sense to deny a final victory to the duo if they're not willing to take the risk of going on alone.

Oh hey, its grade 1 bats... we were looking for pokemons!
bats are darkness and sound. very suitable for our first pokemon. And the two bais can restrain it while we bind it.

I would like to talk with Meizhen see what she want's. We should make clear we are willing to return.
