If it's about to sink, just pull it up.
Fifth Daoling and Fang Yourong were just above. Perhaps a man's perception is more direct; he looked at Qin Yu and saw her evident weakness. Considering the cultivation level of the Little Junior Sister, practicing both arts simultaneously surely exhausted her spirit. Although Water and Wood borrowed spiritual power to forcefully elevate her spiritual level, it still amounted to a deficit—no matter the world, doing things beyond one's original capabilities always comes with some costs.
So Fifth Daoling went down, grabbed Qin Yu's arm, and gently pulled her up. But as soon as he pulled her up, he looked away, released his grip after pulling her out of the water, took a step back, and turned to jump onto the boat.
Fang Yourong, who followed down, casually glanced and happened to see Fifth Daoling's indifferent and calm expression as he turned away.
