บท 199: I didn't want to be a monster.

"Bai YiJun, I really want to ask you this," Jie Fu Lian thinly smiled as he questioned, "Why did you do it?" 

"Huh?" Bai Yijun raised an eyebrow, feeling confused as he asked, "What do you mean?" 

The smile on Jie Fu Lian's face did not falter as he questioned, "Why did you frame me? Heaven's eye...?" 

"..." Bai YiJun's mind immediately went blank and his body stiffened up. 

"Did you think I'd never find out?" 

Bai YiJun looked down at the floor, feeling his own guilt weigh him down as he heard Jie Fu Lian's question. 

"Bai YiJun, tell me," Jie Fu Lian pressed on, "Why did you do it?" 

In the end, Bai YiJun responded with a single question, "How did you know?" 

"I was hoping I was wrong," Jie Fu Lian sighed as he spoke, "I couldn't believe what I had seen so I kept asking myself: How could it be you? It couldn't be you. It... Shouldn't be you."
