It's not out of the question. Li Yueying is certainly not a naive and innocent woman—she's got a lot on her mind. If Ye Shikai stays, if we face danger again later, he surely can help.
Actually, the reason Ye Shikai is willing to go all out for Li Yueying is quite simple. Of course, it's not solely due to being chivalrous and helping when seeing injustice. The main point is that he already fought fiercely with the Tang family at Bai Qi's Relics, and relations can only deteriorate. He doesn't believe Tang Can is the type to "smile away grudges" upon meeting, so if he doesn't intervene now, he won't be spared by Tang Can when they meet the Tang family again. Hence, it would be better to lend a helping hand and make the Li family owe him big.
