Jiu Lan waved off the compliment with a smile. "We're all in this together, aren't we? That's why I wanted to talk to you. I believe that as leaders of sects that focus on the cultivation of female disciples, we have a unique bond. We understand the challenges that come with guiding young women in a world dominated by male cultivators."
Yue Wuxin's interest was piqued. Jiu Lan was right—there were not many sects that focused on female disciples, and those that did often faced similar challenges. "I couldn't agree more," Yue Wuxin said, her tone thoughtful. "It's important for us to support each other."
Jiu Lan's smile widened. "Exactly. I was thinking that we should spend more time together, get to know each other better. It would be beneficial for our sects if we were to form a closer alliance."
Yue Wuxin raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What do you have in mind, Palace Mistress Jiu?"
