"You- you foolish girl," Ling Qi glanced to her side eyebrows rising at her Mother's harsh whisper. "Why would you deliberately take a blow like that?" her eyebrows climbed higher as the older woman rounded on her. "What were you thinking?"
"Please promise me you will not do such a thing again," her mother cut her off, giving her a pleading look.
Ling Qi met her eyes, and for a second she hesitated at the look on her Mother's face. However, in the end, she couldn't lie, not to her Mother, and not about this. "I would do the same for you or Biyu," she replied quietly.
Ling Qingge searched her face, eyes still pleading, and then her shoulders slumped marginally. In that moment, her mother seemed older, as Sect Head Yuan seemed older. "Very well," mother said, and if not for her cultivation, Ling Qi would not have detected the trace of bitterness in her voice.
Her mother's features screwed up in disgust. "It… It is difficult to describe, like a great hairless rat, but with the eyes and hands of a man."
As she suspected then, LIng QI thought grimly. There was no two ways around it. The things she had encountered on her expedition with Suyin were definitely the source of all this. They would pay for many things, but threats to her home were unacceptable. "I have a friend who specializes in security formations. I will make we have something more potent installed soon," she replied tightly. It had been there since she had heard, but the seed of ice cold fury in her heart that had been born at the news burned in the back of her thoughts. In her dantian, she felt her bond with Hanyi resonate, and the sluggish cold qi in her arms pulse.
"They are friends," Ling Qi replied. Xiao Fen was a sort of friend, right? "Su Ling is common born like me, but spirit blooded. Xiao Fen is Bai Meizhen's handmaiden."
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her Mother pause at the second thing, nervously worrying at her lower lip. "Since the visit is so sudden, I am aware that they must not be expecting full amenities, but should I…?"
"Given the current situation, I doubt they are here for personal matters," Ling Qi said. "There won't be trouble." If there was, she would not let Xiao fen get off lightly the next time they trained.
Su Ling shot her an unreadable look, prowling up to stand beside her, and lean against the rail. Her two tails, waved agitatedly behind her. "Yeah. I want to know who you've been talking me up too," she said bluntly. "I know you like to be generous, even when it's not asked for. I want to know why I'm getting rounded up for a serious fu…" she paused, glancing back at Ling Qingge. "A serious venture, down below," she finished vaguely.
Ling Qi looked at her blankly. "I haven't done anything of the sort," she replied. "Su Ling, I was in medical recovery until yesterday evening."
"We will have to find another way to stay in contact."
"Sect's not exactly restricting contact hard right now," Su Ling grunted, fighting a smirk at the sinking of Xiao Fen's expression.
"...Yes," Xiao Fen said her face blank.

I think mom would prefer staying, hence the " potential emotional conflict? " part of the sending away choice.Actually... how about a write in of "ask mom what she would prefer" ?
Fair enough, it just feels kinda shitty to decide without consulting her, not to say against our Advanced Insight.
As Rayous said, I think it's pretty clear what Qingge wants. Sending mom away will mean we can see her less often and she will be in the dark about what and how we're doing.I think mom would prefer staying, hence the " potential emotional conflict? " part of the sending away choice.
So 1 AP back every 2 turns?
Let's go to the suyin cave with
I don't think there has been a single scene shown where Meizhen has been rude even when we were a commoner, crass language and all.Xiao Fen is quite courteous. Honestly, I had my doubts on what the Bai consider polite.
Easy vote, not letting the family out of our sight.
I don't think there has been a single scene shown where Meizhen has been rude even when we were a commoner, crass language and all.
I also agree with this.I think sending them away just paints a huge target on them for all the people that want revenge or leverage on Ling Qi.
I think... this just might be a chance for Ling Qi to get her family and friend get along, as well as benefit from one another. or lay the groundwork for such to happen after the war footing calms.Su Ling on the other hand, seemed to have been brought up short by the introduction, glancing between Ling Qi and Ling Qingge. Her jaw worked silently for a moment, but then she ducked her head, before Ling Qi could read the emotion in her eyes. "...Yeah, Thank you for the hospitality," she replied tersely. By the time she raised her head again, her expression was set in its usual default.
Su Ling never knew Ling Qi was anything but a noble did she? I don't remember us talking about our history with her and Su Ling is definitely the kind of person who'd assume Ling Qi was a noble like all the other people she hung around with.
Keeping the household near the Sect might mean we have to protect the village in case of an attack but that also means we get to flex in front of out family. What would you rather, fight somewhere else or throw a hundred barbarians out of the sky when showing out family what we can do? We'd get to show Biyu what to aspire for and Qingge that we can handle ourselves.
Do we still have access to any Red tier arts that we think we could lend/gift mom?
