[X] Xuan Shi could use more friends and contacts, he had met Suyin before too. Perhaps you could him a favor and introduce them again before asking a favor in turn?

[X] Speak with Xuan Shi when he comes to finish the work on your Mothers house. It will be the most comfortable for you both.

We didn't have to do it more complicated then necessary.

There being someone who is available to talk to Xuan Shi when we are not may very well save his life at some point.

We owe him a favor whichever of the options is voted for. (The only way not to is not to ask him in the first place.)

The only question is if we, for once, try to actually do something for him proactively rather than waiting for him to get around to using that favor, even though he's the type that wouldn't really use it so that in essence, we're just taking advantage of the dude.

Ling Qi's expression softened a little. She knew that Suyin hadn't really seen a fight like that before, or its consequences. "Even so, saying you don't deserve a reward at all is too much Suyin."
"It's not just the talisman," Li Suyin said glumly.

"She's getting promoted into the upper five hundred," Su Ling said flippantly. "Can't think of anyone who deserves it more though."

Gotta admit I nearly did a spit take here. Well done Suyin!

"Tch, can't even give a straight answer to that," Su Ling grumbled under her breath.

The woman's gold furred ears flicked irritably. "Do not concern yourself little nightkin, you are certainly no kindred to the children of Dawn. It would please this one if we could exist in mutual silence."

Su Ling almost missed a step, but simply grunted and looked away when Li Suyin rested a hand on her shoulder.

Geez what an asshole. You're centuries old. Have some dignity.

Su Ling's face was blank. It was the same sort of face she wore when Ling Qi invited her to do things.

Going for this. Honestly though, I think meeting Su Ling might actually good for him too. Hopefully Suyin might introduce them.

Edit: vote.

I think this will go well, and he really does need more friends.
 
Yeah, if the tribute includes materials, having an in with the only crafter that has experience with the paradigm of those materials is a massive boon in terms of economy. Suyin will be able to maintain the cutting edge for the first couple years until a stable of green crafters can be trained to use those materials, and if Suyin does the training of the reds and yellows that become the core of the green sect-lifers craftspeople, then not only will they have better training than other groups, but the sect will also have a much larger stock of materials, since even if they have to buy from Shenhua like everyone else, the fact that Suyin can shortcut the more "obvious" failed attempts means that the sect will lose less materials to waste than anyone else.

So for that reason alone, the Sect showing Suyin special treatment through promotions is really only good business, the fact that she, as an inner sect member continued a task that was being done by an Elder and Core Disciples, and kept the mission from failing on those grounds is a sign of just how biased the sect ranking system is built. Suyin probably has a chance to make Sect Elder in a couple decades if her cultivation keeps pace with her skills.

I'm not going to bother caring for Xuan Shi's social life until he does.

Also Lin Hai is the fucking best.

Also, I was distracted by the vote, but the "It was the sort of face she wore when Ling Qi invited her to do things" line is utterly fantastic and can't possibly get enough praise.
