Xu Yi had the Hemp-clothed Daoist priest tie up the rabbit, then detoxify it, and then cancel the light net.
This whole sequence of actions was clearly preparation to save the rabbit.
Even when he ordered them to tie the rabbit's mouth shut, it was supposedly because he feared it would regain its powers.
Even when he ordered them to detoxify it, he insisted it was because he feared the quality of its demon core might suffer.
