Just as Bai Liang was in horror and a state of shock, his parents, having heard the noise, rushed in. Upon seeing Bai Liang collapsed on the ground, they were taken aback and quickly helped him up.
Bai Liang's distraught state was hardly hidden from his parents, who immediately began inquiring about what had happened.
Under extreme duress, Bai Liang broke his earlier promise of secrecy, revealing that he and Mi Jun had gone tomb raiding.
In addition, he confessed that Mi Jun had suddenly fallen seriously ill and collapsed, but was later treated by a female mage. Bai Liang also confessed about handing over the Luminous Pearl to the mage and about his refusal to part with the jade bracelet. All of this, he told his parents in detail.
The elderlies in the family were more respectful towards spirits.
