Demons? What demons? Surely we wouldn't trade with a polity where there is an ever-present threat that demons would possess individual traders and attempt to infiltrate the Empire. The prescribed entry section of the Wall that all traders must pass through is just for inspecting and cataloging the goods coming in, it has nothing to do with a screening procedure to keep demons from getting in.
Early on Ling Qi did get a ton of marriage proposals. Ling Qi turned them all down immediately (except for Sir Gu which she met a couple of times) until the very indirect Bao proposal passed through. Not to mention all the guys who tried to get close to her in the Sect parties that she never even noticed. I'm not sure if readers got to vote on those rejected proposals or on the Bao proposal. But instory once Bao Qian became her unofficial fiance other candidates couldn't propose freely. Interfering in Bao Qian's courtship would make a powerful Count clan mad. Could also be rude to butt into the courtship of other nobles. So unless Ling Qi pursues another guy I doubt they'd try to court her as long as she's seeing Bao Qian.
Bao Qian is a scion of a count clan who is courting Ling Qi.
Anyone could propose initially but once Ling Qi accepted the Bao proposal the rest stopped. Unlike with her mother LQ made the choice and chose him. She wasn't forced into anything. If she broke up with him others would probably start proposing to her again.
Huh? We haven't accepted his proposal. Ling Qi is still highly resistant to the idea of romance.
Ling Qi did not accept the proposal, she merely did not reject it.
What? There's been nothing even halfway implying that we've accepted a marriage proposal.
So you are wrong from point one and can drop this entire way of thinking. Thank you very much.discord said:
Ehhh, it is not actually that important in my opinion.
The discord is useful for more fast paced conversation about the story. Someone could have asked Yrs the same question in thread and he would have responded eventually, but some discussion just works better on the fast paced discord, and if you want an answer from the Author quickly, using the platform that can actually send a notification to his phone/computer when he isn't on the website is helpful and useful. Other discussion is better here where it is easier to quote the story and create long rants. The voting and threadmarks are also far better here. Each platform has their uses and any important information from the discord is usually brought here very quickly.
While Yrsillar does have a problem in answering questions important to the quest in the Discord rather than the thread, correcting self-imposed quester misunderstandings of the narrative process is very low on his list of priorities.
It's a real shame we missed out on Grandmistress Lei works, the music arts and the venerated instruments. The Weilu pedigree charts helped with the mission I suppose but they didn't give us personally much and that tapestry was a douche. Are the works and instruments lost for good or can they still be reclaimed? They fell into Dream but nothing in Dream is ever truly lost.
We should do a Dream Quest.First, you are way too late, this has been brought up since that vote was completed. Second, we're no longer in the part of the quest where the votes represent objective reality; the choice wasn't pick one object and let the other fall into the void, because if they were both there, they would have been prioritized over literally everything else in that room sight unseen. We were making a choice on which of two possibilities the loot waveform collapsed into. Third, with the fullness of time, Grandmistress Lei's works would have resulted in much less favorable opinions among the court of the Emerald Seas, as it would have kickstarted the song cultivation part of Ling Qi's cultivation, and thus would be worth more to her in cyan and beyond than stones would be, so we'd keep them. Because Ling Qi doesn't care much about the tapestry and the geneology, selling them to notable buyers lets her "give back" and reinforce the idea that Ling Qi, as an extension of Cai Renxiang, is actually working for the betterment of the province rather than her clan.It's a real shame we missed out on Grandmistress Lei works, the music arts and the venerated instruments.
