I like this guy. Even putting marriage questions aside he seems like someone who could be a good friend in time.

Does Li Suyin think we've slowed down? Have we indeed slowed down?
Okay, the guy definitely studied us.

lol at 3
sort of makes the last vote moot, but at least we got a quiet character scene out of it
Bao Qian I like as a friend but not as a husband-to-be. he settles and sits, for all his ambition. he's a lunk.

It always sucks to bomb a roll but at least it wasn't anything hurtful long term besides opportunity costs

Generally, when one is concerned over someone else's workload, it's because they are working too much. We are rapidly advancing and keeping apace with the ducals. We are doing just fine at the moment.
We may need to go faster to reach our objectives, but our objectives are pretty extreme for a commoner brought to the Sect.

Gotta say, I knew it was an exploration roll but as soon as I saw that 3 I was just waiting for some super ghost or mid green predator to come along.
It would explain the Schrodinger's Quan and Qian

Well... it's a product of a history as a street rat being suddenly thrust into a world of cultivation where she is steadily gaining power.
Oh, and a subconscious filled with over 100 different people all wanting to do slightly different things leading to sometimes bizarre behavior.
aw i had hoped that low roll would have been fire and brimstone time....
You know, I see that a lot but it really doesn't make sense.
This is a very curated quest. We very, very rarely get "write-in" votes where players can just vote for whatever. We normally get to select from a small number of options, each of which presumably would make sense for Linq Qi to do.
Can anyone actually name any "bizarre behavior" resulting from quest votes? I can't think of any.

Boy that 3 made me fully expect some minor disaster to crop up and made me skim through the rest of the chapter. But then I reread it, I do kinda like him. I haven't seen much of him yet, and he definitely hasn't made much of an impression. Shen Hu and Xuan Shi still top my Husbando List. But this one is more likely than either of them.
Oh my, I think Qi is rather taken aback by sincere and generous compliments. Adorable.
Qi is here to take advantage of whatever resources she can get her hands on to climb as high as she can, the guy who wants to rely on his own power and intellect to build from nothing truly is a foreign mindset.

Ling Qi directly mentions the heights reached by Cai Shenhua in this update. Our objectives would be extreme even for a ducal scion of our talent if you ask me.
Not too soon to try to raise his bond level to 1 or 2, though.

Yeah... Another example of how this is a death world. And that's if this wasn't an allegory for the Barbarian invasion of the Empire.

Huh, so am I to assume he is partly Green as well? That's..a bit more scrubbish than i thought

As i see it it's kind of the other way around. Ling Qi is green 3 at a time where even a decent noble like our friend Gu Xiulan has only been Green 1 for a little while.
Comparatively Ling Qi has gained 2 levels since the tournament.
I'm pretty sure the ducals are all at most Green 4, so Ling Qi is actually keeping pace with them, with way less innate resources and guidance. Heck, we're in the same Sect reward tier as CRX and Meizen!
While on the subject, does anyone know what this lessons refers too ?
Free additional lessons ? access to a new teaching tier in the sect shop ?
Elder lessons. We have basic ones with Elder Hua atm.

Imo, Ling Qi has terrible long therm planing.
Short therm (one or two turns) is fine: we got math sheets for days! Even middle therm (4 to 8 turns) is kinda okay, we usually can keep end goals in mind.
But long therm (10+ turns) ? Horrible.
Just look at the amount of stuff we simply let fall to the side as time passed. From weapon or skill expertise like (iirc) polearm, archery, argent arts or the recently-brought-back-to-light formations, all the way up to actual enemies which get forgotten as soon as they are not immediately relevant. Heck, Ling Qi's art set is in constant flux, usually depending on what is the lasted shiny drop or social event.
Compare with anyone else, from Miezhen to Xiulan and the differences are pretty phenomenal.

Actually, Ducals are still green 3 as well, we've officially caught up to them in pure cultivation.
The official term is Cultivation Gremlins
Ling Qi is run by a parliament of Cultivation Gremlins.

I like Bao Qian quite a bit. I don't think he knocks Shen Hu off of my gut feeling potential husband/male BFF pedastal, but I'm interested in future social stuff with him, haha.

Ling Qi's character is consistent, while she does undergo a lot of character development, she doesn't display "bizarre behavior" in the sense that she suddenly acts out of character for little to no reason
Her behavior is bizarre in the sense that she acts in a manner that people in universe consider strange, all of it has good in universe reasons, but for most nobles LQ is not something like anything they're used to dealing with
In this instance Qian is commenting on how she alternates from being shy and skittish to direct and confrontational, which makes it hard for him to get a read on how to approach her
We know that a lot of this comes down to Ling Qi's hangups regarding subjects like intimacy, love and marriage. On one hand she's making the attempt to learn how to relax a bit and properly socialize, so she makes attempts to try to converse and get to know him better. But on the other hand she's still uncomfortable with the whole situation and naturally defensive as a result, so every now and then she gives off the impression that she's uneasy or the conversation hits a topic that causes her to suddenly put the walls up and act hostile

Not liking Bao Qian much. He's like one of the gems he likes to wear. All of the pretty splendor of a Count house... but he's dull as a rock.
