At this moment, the soldier who was blinded by the sand finally recovered.

He was so angry that his eyes widened. “Light the fire! Burn this brat and this village that has been affected by the plague to death!”

However, Gu Nuo’er looked up and stared at them with her black eyes.

“Let’s see who dares to do that!”

Her figure was petite, but it did not hide her sharp aura.

The soldiers held their torches and were stunned for a moment, not knowing if they should make a move.

Gu Nuo’er looked at them, a hint of anger in her watery eyes.

“My father already said that saving people is important, yet Cabinet Elder Liu even sent people to burn the village. When I was young, I knew that he wasn’t a good person! He actually agreed on the surface but rebelled on the inside. Did he secretly send troops to burn the village to slander Uncle Bai Yi?!”

“What audacity! How dare you call Cabinet Elder Liu’s name?”

Gu Nuo’er raised her small chin. “So what if I did? I can even chop off his head!

It’s not just his. Yours and you guys’ too!”

She pointed around with her small finger.

“Little girl! Your tone is quite arrogant!”

The leader of the soldiers wanted to go forward and grab Gu Nuo’er.

However, he recalled that he had been plotted by her just now.

Now, he was even walking while clamping his legs together!

Even though this girl looked young, she had too many evil ideas.

He snatched the torch from his accomplice’s hand. “I’ll burn the village today.

Let’s see what you can do to me!”

After saying that, he raised the torch and threw it at the fenced courtyard at the side.

A villager lying on the ground immediately cried, “No! My mother is still

inside! Official, please spare her life!”

“What’s there to spare? Anyone who gets sick will all have to die!” The soldier was fierce and merciless.

However, the torch hit the wall and fell.

Not a single spark was lit.

The soldier was stunned. “What’s going on?”

He didn’t believe it and quickly walked over to pick up the torch.

Then, he suddenly threw it at the place where the haystacks and dry firewood were piled up.

However, the torch still didn’t ignite any flames.

Instead, it gradually extinguished.

Gu Nuo’er clenched her small fists and stood in front of Kongjue.

Her pink lips were tender. At this moment, she pursed her lips and said extremely coldly, “I said that you’re not allowed to burn the village!”

“That doesn’t make sense! It’s impossible that it won’t burn!”

How could a fire not burn when it comes into contact with dry firewood and withered grass?

The soldier felt that something was amiss. He snatched another torch and wanted to light the curtain hanging on the door.

However, there were still no sparks.

“Strange…” He was extremely puzzled.

He brought the torch closer to his leg.

Immediately, with a whoosh, flames shot into the sky!

It was as if he had been splashed with wine and kerosene, burning very quickly.

The flames wrapped around his entire body!

The screams of the soldier immediately resounded in the surroundings.

It was incomparably shrill, causing the spectators to shiver!

Gu Nuo’er pouted and snorted.

She had already warned him not to burn the village, but this person didn’t listen.

The child turned around and pretended to exert a few more strength to pull off the originally dead knot.

Kongjue was helped up by her.

Gu Nuo’er fluttered her thick black eyelashes and looked up at him. “Monk older brother, are you alright?”

Kongjue shook his head.

He watched as the human, who had turned into a ball of fire, rolled back and forth on the ground.

The surrounding soldiers wanted to go up and help, but they were afraid that they would be ignited as well.

The commoners all had terrified expressions.

Kongjue sighed. “Amitabha. The heavens will punish evil people. This should be considered retribution.”

Gu Nuo’er looked back to see how that person was burning.

However, Kongjue covered her eyes. “It’s better not to look. You might feel scared.”

Gu Nuo’er’s long eyelashes fluttered.

It tickled Kongjue’s palm..
