"Oh."
Li Zhiyuan responded simply, perhaps feeling it was a bit too dismissive, added:
"Wish you success."
He didn't definitively agree to reaccept and protect Zhao Yi, although there's an implicit understanding between them, since they still need to go to the "feast" together.
So, if Zhao Yi can evade his pursuers and return here, he would open the Array to let Zhao Yi in.
Yet, the attack at the doorstep is also part of the pursuit; failure to step into the gap of the paving stone in front of him means the escape hasn't ended.
Zhao Yi surely understands this.
Moreover, things haven't reached such a grave level.
Li Zhiyuan knows that killing Zhao Yi and seizing the jade isn't the girl's true intention.
If she truly wanted to do that, she should quietly keep hiding, waiting to give a thunderous strike when Zhao Yi returns, without the need to appear in front of him and introduce uncertainty.
