Completely understandable. Sometimes you just got to kill a man. Besides, he's not about to hold Jin Guangyao responsible for something he didn't do yet.
And maybe never will. Books on a shelf, as Shen Yuan said. Some only different by a single character.
(This er-ge knows. Part of him always knows. The one time he acted on impulse, and now he will spend his life regretting it. But Huaisang couldn't let his vengeance fail, he couldn't let Jin Guangyao live, and that was exactly what Lan Xichen was going to do...)
He listens to the idle plucking gradually taking shape into a melody, letting his thoughts drift along with it like the breeze. When the subject turns to draugrs, he knows his opening has been gently rebuffed and Jin Guangyao has opted for the exit.
Lan Xichen only nods to himself in acceptance. Another time, then. Because they have that, at last. Time.
"Would Lianfang-zun wish to go on a night hunt together then?"
His own smile when he cracks one eye open to look at Jin Guangyao is very polite and respectable, as is expected of the First Jade of Lan, and certainly not something that could be construed as a coy smirk.
