(Warning: Use of some words and sentences that may seem indecent to some readers. Reader's discretion is expected)

"Your highness, your loyal friends have brought someone to help you." A young man of seventeen or eighteen whispers.

At this time, everyone takes the wine cups and cheers at the newlywed couple with congratulating and blessing words. Zhu XiangYu has to sit straight again and accept the guest's good wishes. He looks beside at Lian Jie. He is still sitting like a statue. Zhu XiangYu doesn't like this attitude. He vaguely feels that Lian Jie is showing his dissatisfaction through his frozen actions. However he dismisses this idea guessing that Lian Jie must be tired and nervous.

After finishing their dinner, the attendants lead the couple to their Mirror Lake pavilion. On the way, Zhu XiangYu's friends come again.

"Aunt Tian, take LiangZhu jun to the room and show his attendant the staff quarter." Zhu XiangYu looks at Lu San, "Go to the quarter and take rest. Come back tomorrow morning to attend LiangZhu jun."

Lu San glances at Lian Jie which annoys Zhu XiangYu. Before he could rebuke Lu San, Lian Jie slightly nods his head. Lu San says, "As your highness orders."

Before Lian Jie and the attendants walking away, Zhu XiangYu's friend speaks up. "This is Xie Yao. His cultivation partner is a man. He can advise you how to consummate your marriage tonight."

Zhu XiangYu's heart beats like a drum. Lian Jie also hears what they said. His heart also beats like a drum. The difference is that Zhu XiangYu is excited to enter a new world and Lian Jie is feeling scared and disgusted.

He can remember an incident in his earlier practicing life. He has been practicing since he was fifteen. When he was eighteen, a boy of seventeen came to him.

That teenager's movements, postures, manner of talking were like a coquettish woman. He was very thin and pale. After asking some questions, Lian Jie came to know the boy's occupation. The teenager was a male prostitute since the age of fourteen or fifteen. As Lian Jie didn't know what type of customers a male prostitute receives, he couldn't understand his situation. The boy's anus was in a very poor state and he needed to check the place. It was his first time checking a living being's ass. But the sight of the place was so unhealthy that it gave Lian Jie a great shock. The disease that boy described him made Lian Jie so embarrassed and disgusted that he wanted to puke and kick that boy out of his sight.

Lian Jie, who was brought up with the teaching of not marrying the same sex, couldn't bear the sight of wounded anus with loosened opening. He couldn't help shouting, "How disgusting! How shameless can you be to use your anus for another man? Don't you feel any embarrasement? Don't you have any dignity as a man?"

"Young Master Lian!" Lian Jie's father was present there. Seeing his son's rude behavior to the patient, he interjected. "Do not forget that this young master is your patient. You must consider his situation. If he had been brought up in luxury like young master Lian, he wouldn't have to sleep with other men to survive in this world." He casted a sharp glance at his son.

Lian Jie looked at the boy and found tears in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. A sense of guilt grasped Lian Jie's heart. He got that he was wrong but it was also hard for him to accept such a situation of a man. That prostitute boy didn't live long and died after six months.

Since then, Lian Jie used to come out of his luxurious life to take a walk on the street and know about human life. This has increased his compassion for his patients. He stops judging people merely on his own assumptions. But he also reduced taking on patients and concentrated on medicine, spells and barriers instead.
