[ That... is a good question, actually. While he became sect leader at a young age like Jin Ling, what support he had came from within his own sect and his mother's, he didn't have to worry about what it would look like to have friends from other great sects around. ]
I don't think it would do harm. You aren't one of the leaders of Gusu Lan yourself, though you are close to them. If you are at Carp Tower, you will visit with him as a dutiful friend.
It's a friend he needs from you, not so much someone to defend him. [ Well, thinking back on himself and Wei Wuxian... ] And maybe someone who punches the people he can't afford to punch.
