Right now is when she's feeling our how her life will change after this whole negotiation business. Meaning she has to do more politics. Fief would be easy imo.

[X] Yu Nuan is not as skilled as you but she is driven and trustworthy, you think. Tentative acceptance, assuming conditions allow

she will always have to do politics in some way. and no, setting up a fief will certainly not be easy. especially since this is a setting where there are random spirits everywhere and new villages dissappear often enough that it is 'just a fact of life', so if anything, setting up a fief will be harder than what we are doing here right now

If I was a rich, established clan who wanted to get a spy close to Renxiang, Yu Nuan is who I'd use. She fits LQ well, she doesn't like the Cai and she has few attachment.
We should at least run a background check before accepting her. Besides the security concerns I think she'd fit well from an arts point of view.

Except Yu Nuan is the person who, the first time we met her, openly criticized basically everyone who is someone in the Emerald Seas as well as a whole bunch of distinguished historical figures with only a paper thin metaphor in between her and everyone who'd disagree with that.
Her ability to keep a cover would be rudimentary at best even if she wanted to.

Yrs said that Ling Qi will make sure to involve the family and other relevant peoples/authorities before finalizing anything, so unless there's something else that needs to desperately be taken care of before she joins up, I'm not seeing why we should kick this thing down the road. Either we say yes or no (personally, I am not seeing any reason not to take her beyond the slight possibility she might be anti-Cai and has been hiding it real well. But that's a very small chance) now and be done with the situation.

I'm kind of ambivalent about adopting or not, but I don't see myself becoming less ambivalent by putting it off for a few turns. I'll tag on to whichever immediate-decision vote looks to be coming out on top.
I would look at it differently. I view this more as an extension of our fief than of our family, exactly. And we are going to end up being responsible for our fief anyways; accepting specific people there isn't really more responsibility in a qualitative sense.
To put it another way, a "Clan" is as much an administrative unit as it is a family. Right now the Ling Clan and the Ling Family are one and the same, but there is no reason that that has to remain the case - and in the long term, insisting on such would be somewhat detrimental. I don't think we are close enough to Yu Naun to adapt her into our family the way our mother/sister is family (or the way our Spirits are for that matter), but an adoption into our Clan doesn't require that.

Look, there's one answer that gets us closer to:
And that's my argument for:

if she wants to join our family, I say we let her, even if she ends up betraying us, Sincerity is the way in which ones guests should be measured and one person's desires alone cannot make a home or a family, so we probably won't get heart demons from it.
also Qiu is a precious cinnamon roll and must be protected.
Could a Thunder Dog call a storm to water our crops? could be big synergy with Zhengui if so.
Do you need to have access to the Jade slip in order to practice a technique? If so, then setting up an art library that people can pay to access might be a decent revenue stream.

I think she's genuinely drawn to Ling Qi. She has serious talent and could probably get much better offers from a major clan if she wanted.
It's not impossible that she's being planted as a spy , but the leader of a clan has powers of life and death over the members , and being legally adopted seems like it would be the most dangerous way to go about it.

That would actually be a huge sticking point, there are at most 6 people Ling Qi would allow to vote. Sixang will mostly likely vote yes, since they've been pushing Ling Qi to be more connected with people, and adopting another cultivator would do that. Zhengui isn't petty or mean enough to vote no based on their limited interaction, but his brooding nature might see him voting to abstain instead. Hanyi is of most likely voting no out of revenge for losing to Yu Nuan. Ling Qingge and Ling Qi are on the fence but in the event that we vote Yes, she's likely to come around, but could easily vote no depending on concerns she may raise, meaning 2/2/1 (Yes/No/Abstain) is a pretty likely breakdown of votes, meaning Biyu is the tie breaker, and her vote can be summarized as:
So I don't see that being a huge obstacle.
