My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too-Chapter 1021 - 1024: Burden? Shocking! (Part 4)

The woman’s absolutely beautiful face was tinged with a faint glow, her expression calm and ethereal, with a hint of indifference in her eyes.

"You don’t need to thank me. If you had died here, I wouldn’t have found a way out. So, it’s mutual necessity..."

Dian Feng let out a bitter smile: "Although you say that, the fact remains that you saved us. If we had died here, the Purple Spiritual Flower would have been lost too. Our goal in coming here was the Purple Spiritual Flower, which is of great importance to us."

"Purple Spiritual Flower?" Mu Ruyue paused, puzzled as she asked.

"That’s right," Dian Feng nodded, "Our captain’s father is gravely ill. It’s said that only a High-level Heavenly-grade elixir refined from the Purple Spiritual Flower can save him. We’ve traveled miles to find it, and without you, I’m afraid the captain’s father wouldn’t survive."

Mu Ruyue’s expression darkened: "Considering you brought me out of the Purgatory Forest, let me give you a piece of advice—Purple Spiritual Flower is not a life-saving herb. This flower can affect a person’s nerves to achieve undisclosed intentions."

Dian Feng was taken aback: "Is this... is this true? Our captain’s brother finally managed to invite a Heaven Rank Elixir Master who promised to help us refine an elixir. If what you say is true, then..."

What was his real intention?

Leng Yan furrowed his brows, looking up at the woman’s stunning visage, a steadfast gleam in his stern face.

"I owe you a favor."

As he spoke, Leng Yan’s tone was determined, firm, and strong.

"I don’t need you to repay it."

Mu Ruyue lightly frowned. To be honest, she saved these people only to leave the Purgatory Forest.

"No matter what, I’ll remember it."

Leng Yan gazed expressionlessly at Mu Ruyue, speaking coldly.

"Suit yourself." Mu Ruyue shrugged her shoulders, smiling nonchalantly.

Dian Ling stood behind the two, lightly pressing her thin lips, looking at Mu Ruyue with a flicker of a strange light in her eyes.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to step forward, weakly saying, "I’m sorry." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Hmm?" Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, her puzzled gaze sweeping over to Dian Ling, "Do you need something?"

"I..." Dian Ling bit her lip tightly, "I shouldn’t have insulted you by calling you a burden."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ruyue nodded, her expression indifferent as she said, "When did you say that?"

Dian Ling was stunned. So, this woman didn’t hear a word of what she said earlier? Wasn’t she just talking to herself all this time?

Thinking of this, Dian Ling almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into out of shame, her pretty face turning crimson as she looked at Mu Ruyue...

"Let’s go."

Leng Yan glanced at Dian Ling, then turned and walked forward.

The team continued its journey out of the Purgatory Forest, but this time, Dian Ling no longer looked down on Mu Ruyue.

Her strength ranked among the top in their group; if she was considered a burden, then what about the others?

"Sigh."

Looking at his daughter, Dian Feng sighed: "Lingling, there is always someone better. You can’t judge a person by their appearance; some people hide their talents, and you can’t determine anything based on looks alone..."

"I understand, father."

Dian Ling gently bit her lip, shamefully saying: "Just like this woman..."
