Afterwards, the two used Huaiying's body as an excuse to go to the most remote island from the God Realm, where they cultivated while taking care of the child.
"He sealed Huaiying's energy, he even sealed her meridians, how utterly inhuman!" Xuanming was so angry that he paced back and forth by Huaiying's bedside.
"Do you have any ideas?" Huai'an gently patted Huaiying, who was looking at them with wide, curious eyes.
"We can't let him know, we can only take it slowly," Xuanming said. "Since we can't take action ourselves, we can only let Aying do it herself."
"What do you mean?" Huai'an asked, puzzled.
"My medical skills are not bad, but it will be hard for Ah Ying to take medicine for a long time." Xuan Ming looked at Huai Ying with pity.
"Brother Xuanming, Aying is not tired. Aying likes you the most." The two-year-old said in a soft voice. She didn't understand what they were saying at all. She wanted to say something more, but her whole face was covered by a big hand.
"You should go to sleep!" Huai'an said through gritted teeth.
Xuanming: ...
After that, the task of giving Huaiying medicine fell to Xuanming, while Huai'an would always appear after she had finished taking the medicine, bringing the child sweet candy.
So Huaiying's fondness for Xuanming quickly faded, and every time she saw her, she was reminded of that agonizingly bitter medicine.
Xuanming: Huai'an is such a scheming dog!
By the time he tried to reason with the child to salvage their relationship, Huaiying already saw him as a bully who preyed on children.
Huai'an clearly played a significant role in this...
...
Afterwards, he and Huai'an carefully taught Huaiying what they were good at, hoping that she would have a way to protect herself if they were not around.
Fortunately, Huaiying is quite gifted in medicine. In her own words, she learned medicine by consuming it bowl by bowl. If she weren't good at it, all her hard work would have been for nothing.

Time always slips away unnoticed. After Xuanming returned from a long trip, a nasty guy appeared by his little girl's side.
She called him "Abu" all the time, making him want to kill that "Abu" guy.
He actually had tens of thousands of ways to kill Abu, but killing for personal desires makes him no different from those demons. However, for millions of years afterward, he spent much of his time regretting not having secretly killed Abu back then.
...
When Huai Ying first killed Huai Yuan Chu, he was under control, but he couldn't tell the truth. For the sake of the apparent stability of the Divine Realm and to avoid arousing Huai Yuan Chu's suspicion, he had no choice but to lie.
Fate can be so cruel. The first lie was to save her, but this lie might cost her her life.
Huai'an knew this too, so he could only accept it for now and do his best to protect Huaiying.
...
As expected, fate cannot be defied... she ultimately died.
He let go, allowing Huai'an to desperately try to save her, without intervening.
But each time, he used seclusion as an excuse to stay by her side and protect her.
Watch her and that despicable Abu engage in a love-hate relationship, repeating the cycle countless times.
Later, Huai'an made his move and implicated himself as well.
He made his stance clear: he would no longer get involved in anything related to Huaiying, but ultimately, for her safety, he wanted to silently protect her.
He didn't know where she went, but he knew Huai'an well enough that she was in one of the three remaining, still safe timelines.
So he split his energy into three parts.
Suppressing the energy to this level allowed them to help without arousing suspicion. As it turned out, they truly were only siblings...
