Damn, do you think we could get a varient for being a sister?
Or would it just be extremely awkward whenever it pings of Zhengui.
On the other hand I think that's the kind of introduction that Su Ling would find intensely uncomfortable.
Burn.
I like how messed up all the units are. When you can see with plain eyes to the atomic level, having exact measurements are needed.

I don't like it not with what happened last time inviting her to a group even if were good mediating now, even if it's with good intentions thats not always how it pan's out.
I'd like to introduce Su Ling to the Noble sparring group but it's also not going to be steady getting everyone together with the war going on and them not always being there.
I think we should leave her be for now getting settled before inviting her to a group, we don't have to force the issue right now.
[] Hold off, Let Su Ling settle into the Inner Sect for longer before springing new social groups on her.

I just realized something. Ling Qi's whole domain is about home and family. And if she likes you, it's basically designed to make you feel safe, like you'll never be alone again.
Heck, IIRC even Zhengui once mentioned that he could tell whenever Ling Qi was nearby cause being in her domain feels like someone giving you a big hug.
... is this why we seem to be surrounded by dorks all the time? Is our domain catnip for sad or lonely people?

So given that we know that the Bai and the Xuan negotiated about a match between Meizhen and Shi:
Has he called Meizhen a greedy and elderly woman here?

You, uh, seemed to have missed it
He is indeed into Ling Qi, but he's not aiming to pursue it
He was hoping that it might get there eventually though
After this conversation he's accepting that it won't progress that far but is happy to settle for friendship
That moment where Ling Qi's face fell is because she realized he was in fact attracted to her, and everything afterward was her scrambling to figure out how to let him down easy

[] Invite Su Ling to the training group. As the co-organizer, inviting a few close friends was allowed.
Heavily in favor of this currently, because while Su Ling was better than us at socialising with other low birth people in the outer sect, she had issues with high borns, and she might end up finding excuses to push back meeting people.
Considering that right now she has probably a good reputation as someone who did a great job from the sect, it would be much easier for her to meet people when they are well disposed toward her than when they are not.
Also as mentioned, Liang He is also someone she can sort of bond with, maybe.

Does su ling, as a budding outdoorsy seer, need more sparring or more production training?

Guess I'll just keep hoping to one day find that uncomplicated platonic male/female friendship in fiction. 😞
Ling Qi and Han Jian?

With how relatively unique Su Lings ability to divine the enemy is in the inner sect I feel there is a real danger she will see quite a lot of deployment. As such I don't think waiting to make connections is good idea.
I also got the impression that Wen Cao is slightly better / more confident at guiding people the Han Jian was, but as we only have one scene with him I might be proven wrong here.

Why does a cultivator use a stencil? You would think with superior memory and dexterity such mortal tools would no longer be relevant.
I feel like your overusing the ellipses this chapter. I counted like 22 uses of it.

Yeah, we just need to actually vote for his social options this time when he get in at the end of the year. Not only has he not shown any particular romantic interest in Ling Qi, but he's got additional assurance in that he knows what will happen if he follows up spurning Xiulan with flirting with her best friend.

Han Jian was great, liked his group generally and am sad we didn't get to spend time with Fang at all. But it was complicated by the Xiulan's jealousy and it ended too soon. Hoping to find another bro that LQ can be comfortable around and is likely to stay relevant.
I don't think it has much to do with being blunt and honest. The big difference between Ling Qi, Bai Meizhen, and Xuan Shi here is that while all were really bad at social but wanted friends to prevent ending up lonely - Ling Qi had SV in the back of her mind pushing her to keep reaching out and trying to forge bonds despite how bad at it she was.
Lots of introverted people who aren't great at social get frustrated and discouraged after a failure or two, but Ling Qi kept getting back on that horse to make connections despite occasional flat out rejection from Sun Liling or two cases of rocky starts and awkwardness (Golden Fields Group and the initial troubles with Su Ling). It didn't always work out and she often had to prioritize, but as much as Ling Qi optimized her schedule to Always Be Cultivating she put in almost as much optimization into continually reaching out to social with someone or other during her time in the outer sect.
[] Hold off, Let Su Ling settle into the Inner Sect for longer before springing new social groups on her.
Invite Su Ling, poster child for doing things at her own pace and not playing the noble social game and fresh off getting into the Inner Sect something she was really ambivalent about in the first place, to a party whose entire purpose is to engineer a place for noble social games for a noble whom we are playing a noble social game on.
Yeah, she'll thank us for that for sure.
