Ye Qing was in a rather awkward position. He had to hold onto the Ice Silkworm Thread, or he would be swept away by the current. However, the Ice Silkworm Thread was tied around Yelu Ying's waist. In other words, if he kept climbing along the Ice Silkworm Thread, he would definitely get closer to Yelu Ying.
Given Yelu Ying's current state, her hands were grabbing wildly. If Ye Qing got too close, she would inevitably grab him. If that happened, both of them would be stuck here. So, Ye Qing couldn't get too close to Yelu Ying; he had to go around her and cut off the water weeds.
So now, Ye Qing was in a dilemma. Deciding what to do became a very challenging task. However, given the situation, Ye Qing didn't have much time. Yelu Ying had been in the water for nearly two minutes. Her struggling seemed to be getting weaker. If he delayed any longer, even if Ye Qing could save her, she might still drown.
