Shen Yunjiao led Ye Zhixuan back to the side hall. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xuanqing Temple sent someone to pick her up.

Shen Yunjiao had no choice but to leave the young Taoist nun waiting in such a noisy environment. She got up, said goodbye to Ye Zhixuan, and headed towards the main hall.

Upon seeing his younger sister, Shen Qinghuai immediately followed.

Pei Zhixuan sat in the corner watching Shen Yunjiao, his eyes filled with a deep, unfathomable look.

Shen Yunjiao also noticed Pei Zhixuan's expression, but she only glanced at him indifferently and no longer wanted to greet him.

Shen Qinghuai followed Shen Yunjiao in the same carriage back to Xuanqing Temple.

Even if Qingxin Pavilion doesn't allow him to enter, he will still accompany Shen Yunjiao to Xuanqing Temple.

Although Shen Yunjiao was not a member of the royal family, she was the only daughter of the Shen family and had a noble status. She was not a commoner who could be easily manipulated. As her brother, he naturally had to accompany her to the temple and, incidentally, put a bad word to the abbot so that he would take good care of Shen Yunjiao.

"I heard you were bullied by the cook at Xuanqing Temple a few days ago?" Shen Qinghuai asked Shen Yunjiao as soon as she got into the car.

Shen Yunjiao wondered which whistleblower had run to her brother's side to report on her again, so she coughed lightly, shook her head, and denied it, saying, "Nothing like that."

“I’ve already found out.” Shen Qinghuai couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her, putting on an authoritative elder brother’s demeanor. “Just bear with it for now, I’ll go and argue with the abbot later.”

"Brother, no need, the cook has already been driven away," Shen Yunjiao hurriedly said.

Shen Qinghuai was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who helped you drive them away?"

Shen Yunjiao paused, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered her head to say, "It's Xiao Huaijin."

Shen Qinghuai gently rubbed his temples, stared at her speechlessly for a long while, and then looked at her with a complicated expression and slowly said, "I thought you had lost contact with His Majesty. Do you know that he is about to start selecting concubines?"

Hearing from others that Xiao Huaijin was going to hold a talent show, Shen Yunjiao's mood immediately soured.

But she came up with a way to quickly change the subject.

“Brother, let’s not talk about me for now. Let’s talk about you and Zhixuan.” Shen Yunjiao narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, “I saw the two of you hugging each other.”

"At such a young age! You haven't learned anything else, all you've learned is how to peek." Shen Qinghuai said calmly, but his ears turned red.

Shen Yunjiao gently nudged her brother with her elbow, "Zhixuan is a good girl, why did you wait so long to accept her?"

Shen Qinghuai's expression changed slightly, and he immediately sat properly in the carriage, his back ramrod straight.

Shen Yunjiao knew that this was a sign that her brother was feeling guilty.

"Brother, you know all my secrets, but you keep your secrets from me. Isn't that too unfair?" Shen Yunjiao said with dissatisfaction.

Shen Qinghuai glanced at her, his mouth tightly shut.

He would never tell his sister about something so shameful.

Shen Yunjiao knew he must have something he couldn't say, but it was alright. If he wouldn't tell her, she would just secretly ask Zhixuan herself.

"Um, cough cough cough." Shen Qinghuai looked up at her sister, "Is your Wen'anzhai still open?"

"Of course it's open." Shen Yunjiao looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What? Does brother want to see a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghuai fell silent again, turning his gaze to the dark car window in the distance.

Shen Yunjiao raised an eyebrow; from that guilty expression, she knew exactly what the problem was.

Taking advantage of Shen Qinghuai's inattention, she quickly reached out and placed her hand on Shen Qinghuai's pulse.

"Yun Jiao! What are you doing?" Shen Qinghuai was startled and turned to look at his sister.

“Brother, don’t move, let me take your pulse.” Shen Yunjiao said in a stern tone like an elder, “Brother, if you want to get treatment, why don’t you come to me? Why go through all the trouble of asking Antang for a doctor?”

Shen Qinghuai panicked immediately and hurriedly said, "What do you know, you're just a girl?"

“Of course I know much more than my brother,” Shen Yun retorted with a charming smile.

Shen Qinghuai's pulse was very weak and thready, especially the radial pulse, which was the weakest.

Shen Yunjiao felt it and immediately detected that it was a pulse indicating impotence.

"Brother, stick out your tongue and let me see," Shen Yunjiao calmly instructed.

Shen Qinghuai awkwardly declined, "No, no need."

"Brother! Hurry up and stretch it out, or we'll be at Xuanqing Temple soon." Shen Yunjiao urged impatiently, a rare occurrence for her. "If you're a man, don't be so coy."

Shen Qinghuai was taken aback for a moment before laughing out loud, "Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you."

After he sat up straight, he stuck out his tongue so that Shen Yunjiao could see it.

"A pale white tongue coating with teeth marks indicates poor Qi circulation."

This is a classic case of erectile dysfunction.

Shen Yunjiao then realized why Shen Qinghuai had never had a woman by his side. Even though he was of marriageable age, he still didn't want to get married.

"Brother, was it because of this that you didn't want to confess your feelings to Zhixuan before?" Shen Yunjiao asked casually.

Shen Qinghuai kept quiet, knowing what his sister was referring to.

"Brother, your illness must have been discovered a long time ago, right?" Shen Yunjiao looked intently at Shen Qinghuai.

Shen Qinghuai sighed softly, withdrew his hand, and said, "If we rashly seek out a doctor for treatment, and this matter is accidentally found out by some gossip, it will affect the reputation of the Shen family and my father's reputation."

"Brother, you're being too cautious," Shen Yun said with a smile. "Now you don't need to worry anymore. Your sister is a skilled doctor and will definitely cure you."

"Really?" Shen Qinghuai looked at Shen Yunjiao suspiciously, asking the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time, "When did you start studying medicine?"

“These past few years,” Shen Yunjiao blinked and said, “Brother, your illness is easy to cure. There’s no writing brush or ink here, but I’ll write you a prescription when I get back to Qingxin Pavilion. Remember to send someone to pick it up tomorrow.”

Shen Qinghuai raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You have a way?"

"Of course," Shen Yunjiao nodded confidently.

Shen Qinghuai smiled indulgently, "Then I'll be counting on you, brother."

He never took this matter to heart from the beginning. For Shen Qinghuai, love was originally something that was dispensable and ethereal. He had seen his father and mother being very loving, and after his mother passed away, his father quickly married Aunt Liu.

Therefore, Shen Qinghuai had no illusions about love.

But after he met Ye Zhixuan, he realized how wrong he had been.

Therefore, he also wants to face his own shortcomings.

Shen Yunjiao knew what her brother was thinking, so she replied earnestly, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to cure you."

The brother and sister smiled at each other.

The carriage slowly arrived at the entrance of Xuanqing Temple.
