“No one in the world knows the real you; that you were good, that you were innocent.
They do not know that you were troubled by the rain to save little earthworms, that you were filled with smiles for blooming lotuses.
Everyone in the world resents you for being cold-blooded, but they don’t know that you once shyly scratched your head and said, 'I… I don’t have much ability. If I have some spare money in the future, I should build more houses and settle down with people who live in the same condition as I was before.'
Everyone hates you for killing and slaughtering, but they don’t know that you had told me before, 'Shizun, I want a holy weapon that is like Tianwen. It can distinguish between black and white, and can save lives.'
Everyone was cursing you, they want to punish you. I know the truth, but I can’t give you back your dignity.”

“The Head Priest stared at him, “I’ve seen your future, and it’s pitch black.”

Xie Lian looked him straight in the eyes and said, “You must’ve seen wrong. I only like to wear white.”
