When Di Wu received the call, he was completely bewildered. He then grabbed his medical kit and rushed out the door.

Emperor Wu was also at Xiyuan, so they arrived quickly.

When I arrived at the living room, the atmosphere was so strange!

Shi Xi was so angry with Di Chenxiao that she didn't want to speak, while Di Chenxiao was so heartbroken that he couldn't say a word.

Diwen and the other three stared in shock at their master kneeling on the ground, feeling as if the world was a bit surreal, their expressions blank.

Yu cursed Shi Xi in her heart, but was quickly punished by her master.

When Di Chenxiao saw Di Wu enter, he was still in a daze. Lately, everyone has been living too comfortably. "Why don't you come and take a look? Just standing there like a block of wood."

Di Wu ran behind Di Chenxiao. His master was still kneeling, so he dared not stand in front of him.

I truly admire Miss Shi's composure; she can accept her master's knees so calmly.

"Master, please get up. Let me take a look at Miss Shi."

The man stood up, and Di Wu squatted down beside Shi Xi, touching her knee and examining her entire leg. All he found was a patch of bruises. He'd been hurriedly summoned over; this supposedly divine physician was increasingly underutilizing his talents. But his master had already knelt on one knee; what was this compared to him?

Shi Xi's knees didn't hurt, but because her skin was fair and the floor was hard, they turned a terrible bruise.

Di Wu stood up, his expression respectful. "Master, Miss Shi's leg is fine. This spray has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Spray it on her knee and massage it gently. She should be back to normal in a little over an hour."

Di Chenxiao took the spray, walked to Shi Xi, and knelt down on one knee again. Before his hand could touch Shi Xi's leg, Shi Xi stood up and sat on the sofa next to her.

She said with a sneer, "Master Chen, I wouldn't dare trouble you, and my knees don't hurt, so I don't need any medicine."

Di Chenxiao was a little at a loss. He sat down next to Shi Xi and explained, "Xi Xi, I didn't mean to punish them. This mango mille-feuille was specially made for you. After waiting for so long, you finally came, and I no longer have to worry about no one eating my mango mille-feuille. I didn't say a word, and the four of them knelt down one after another to accept their punishment. And then you knelt down to me. Isn't that just trying to make me feel sorry for them?"

Seeing that Shi Xi's gaze softened a little, he continued, "Xi Xi, I'm innocent. Since I met you, when have I ever said a harsh word or a reproach to you? You still often misunderstand me and wrong me. On the contrary, I have to coax you. It's so hard for me."

Shi Xi nodded in agreement.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Shi Xi said aggrievedly, "You didn't say anything, but your face was already as black as charcoal. Do I need to say anything? Don't you know how scary you look when you're so dark?"

"It's my fault, it's my fault, it won't happen again."

"You said it."

"Yes, I said it, I assure you. Can you apply the medicine to your knee now?"

Shi Xi put her legs up on his lap, and he carefully applied the medicine.

Diwen and the others walked out with their heads down, not daring to look at their master in such a shameless manner.

Yu was also pulled out by Diwen, and then he ignored her.

Diwen and the other four slowly walked to the back garden, sat in the small pavilion next to it, and looked at the moon.

The moonlight is lovely tonight.

Diwen and the others frowned, deep in thought. They had been following their master for thirteen years. No matter how busy their master was, he would make a mango mille-feuille every day, put it in the refrigerator, throw it away the next day, and then make another one.

Di Lu returned from his memories of three years ago and said, "Three years ago on New Year's Day, all ten of us were in Xiyuan Garden, by Master's side. Master said that he made mango mille-feuille while waiting for his Xixi to come and eat it. He had been making it for ten years, but his Xixi had never appeared. That was the first time I saw Master looking so heartbroken and helpless."

Later, when they talked about Xixi in private, they would always address her respectfully as Miss Xixi.

Di Wen slowly spoke, "Master has been waiting for Miss Xixi for thirteen years. If she doesn't appear after all these years, she won't appear again."

Di'er: "So, Master is treating Shi Xi as a substitute for Miss Xi Xi?"

Emperor Qi: "It is Miss Shi's good fortune to be able to become Miss Xixi's substitute."

Di Wu felt a pang of pity, but he agreed, “Master should have a substitute by his side, otherwise I’m afraid he won’t last long. Sometimes I wonder if Master will end up not dying at the hands of the enemy, but by committing suicide.”

After speaking, the five of them fell silent. None of them were good people; their lives were given to them by their master, and their abilities were cultivated by him. They only hoped that their master would be well; they didn't care about the feelings of others.
