On the eve of the lunar eclipse, Rui and I came out of the room to hear the noise from outside. Neo also came out of his room for the same reason.
"What's that about?" Rui asked in wonder.
Tonight was the night where an heirloom object would come out of its seal to plant a new seal of moon energy. But I heard from the screams of the ghosts in the middle of the hall, that the heirloom was stolen by someone.
"stolen? By who?" Neo put on a surprised face.
We both immediately looked at him sharply, "Neo, don't tell me you—"
"You're going to accuse me, Jian? Trust me, I haven't done anything since I got out of your room this afternoon. You said you can't talk about stealing anymore. I dare not do so without your consent" Neo denied my accusation.
I looked at Rui who was also in confusion. How'this? Who stole the wreck? How are we gonna get home if it's gone?
"Alright, Neo. I trust you for now," I closed my eyes while pondering for a moment, "We'd better help them find it, it could give us a chance to get close to them and earn their trust," I smiled at Rui, trying to channel the calmness in my heart into her heart. Rui can't be sad anymore.
Rui nodded, the three of us ran out of the hallway, preparing to join Win, Yets, Bim and the other ghosts.
"Stop right there!" June pointed her wand at us, her face looking angry, a small glint emerging from her fingers draining her wand.
Me, Rui and Neo stopped on the spot, staring at the situation in confusion. What's the matter? Why are they all pointing guns at us with angry faces?
I could see Win doing the same, but his face showed a deeply disappointed expression.
"Win, what's wrong?" I tried to ask calmly.
"Have you deceived, Thief!" Kie exclaimed firmly, her magic level looked sinister. I don't know what we should do. Apparently, they actually accused us of stealing that thing.
"You, cowardly boy! You must be upset that we didn't lend you our heirloom, you stole it. Quickly return! You must accept punishment!" Paw also looked at us sharply.
Rui and I stared at Neo not understanding, "Neo, did you really steal it?" my many.
Neo shook his head firmly, "No, Jian. I've been in your room since I left your room. I just came out when I heard the commotion here. After all, just think with logic, how could I steal it alone?"
I was silent, Neo didn't seem to be lying. He also could not possibly steal it with his bare hands. At that time Rui and I immediately refused, Neo couldn't possibly make his own decision. He never stole that thing. I have to trust my friend.
"Then, why don't you just check them and their rooms?" Win made a decision.
"True, let's just check them out!" Kie exclaimed to arouse the spirits of other ghosts to accuse us.
"Please, check it out! I didn't steal anything, the heirloom wasn't on me, let alone on these two women!" Neo turned himself in, letting his body be examined every inch, and the heirloom was completely not on his body.
Some people entered our rooms, and they all returned empty-handed. That's enough to prove that we didn't steal the remains.
"ah! Still is. We all saw it ourselves, right? That thing was stolen in front of us. The culprit was wearing clothes like the boy! Although the heirloom was not in his room or in his clothes, he could have hidden it. He's still a criminal, they're still thieves! Brackets them in jail!" Paw exclaimed again.
"Yes! Aye! Brackets them in jail!" the other ghosts also exclaimed as they raised their magic wand forward.
"Sorry, Dude! But we're innocent!" Neo ran over while pulling my hand and Rui, "We have to run, Jian. You don't want us in jail, do you?"
"But, Neo. We can't just run away, we have to explain to them that we didn't steal an heirloom" I brushed Neo off.
Rui stopped, "Jian's right, we have to explain it to them, Neo," Rui let go of Neo's hand.
Neo snorted, "Alright. I'll follow your words once more" Neo looked at me.
Now we stand facing this misunderstanding. There's no way they're all stubborn and don't know how to think, right?
"Strike them!" The Rux that suddenly appeared instantly cast a magic spell.
I was surprised, not having time to make a protective shield, knocked five steps back, Rui fell not far from me. Neo was floating a few meters in the air.
"You can't hurt my friends!" Neo banged Pru forward, hundreds of water arrows raining down on the Great Hall which now looked bad with thousands of attacks coming from hundreds of ghosts.
"Jian, we can't fight hundreds of people at once. They've lived for thousands of years, and we've only had a month of magic, '" Neo persuaded me to run away.
"No, Neo. We have to explain the truth to them!" I still refuse to leave now.
"Jian, why is your stubborn disease coming back now? This is not the time to tell the truth, they will not listen to that truth, Jian! We should leave while we can still run fast!" Neo exclaimed again, how is this? I don't want us to have a bad relationship with the people of Dixia Academy.
"Jian, I think I agree with Neo," Rui held my arm. His face showed anxiety, I know he's scared now.
"Alright, Neo. We go first now, but we have to go back again when we have the preparation," I sighed.
Neo nodded, "Take out your magical beast, Jian. Create a big barrier so that we have a chance to escape.
I flicked my finger, Piu Piu jumped out of the empty air, then instantly formed a huge barrier so that we could escape.
"Where are you running?" Paw roared loudly, his body turning into a huge snow wolf, which broke the barrier of Piu Piu so easily.
Of course, Piu Piu had only come out a few days ago, and Paw had already lived thousands of years into a magic entity, he must have been extremely powerful.
"Now there's no other way, Neo. We have to fight!" I started to deal with some attacks. Rui took off her handrails, Riu joined her.
I think Rui has changed a lot, although sometimes a little afraid, but he is more alert and trained when attacking opponents.
Now, Neo is fighting back, June, Rux, Paw and Kie. Pru turned into a long and sharp ice sword. I don't know when Neo mastered that ability. I haven't even been able to create a big storm just by relying on Jilly.
Rui pelt the blue fireball to and fro, she knew the ghosts were immune to fire attacks because they were able to dodge quickly, but Rui still did so in order to give a little gap for her friends to escape.
I jumped to and fro alternately with Piu Piu. Somehow, I was able to get into the mind of Piu Piu in a high level of concentration, the magic beast could really be controlled completely by its master.
Piu Piu put up a barrier on the side as I charged forward, and vice versa. Now I am separated from my two friends.
Unfortunately, our attacks without this strategy really did not last long. I fell after being hit by a dozen attacks. My body crumbled, bruised all over, I grimaced with pain, Piu Piu put up a barrier so I wouldn't get hit again, but it broke again and again. I slammed back, Piu Piu weakened, then disappeared after not being able to withstand another attack.
My eyes began to stare indistinctly, everything looked blurry, I snorted, why am I so weak? Look at! Rui and Neo were still standing upright up there, subverting countless ghosts, but I was just busy putting up barriers here and there and dodging. I tried to stand up again. Piu Piu was already unable to help me, his magic energy was already drained away, and the Magical Beast Necklace could not help much anymore. I lost my balance to get back on my feet. Not yet had time to stand upright, a blow made my body slammed dozens of meters. I roared in pain. I don't know if I can hold on this time.
"Dian!" Neo exclaimed from up there. He saw a tiger coming towards me, the tiger was a ghost who just hit me very hard.
"Don't hurt Jian anymore! Neo stood in front of me while stretching out both hands.
Blood flowed from his thighs, his right hand that was holding the Sword of Pru was visibly trembling. His body was full of dirt and bruises. It seems that Neo's condition isn't much better than mine.
The tiger ghost pointed his fist again forward, Neo blocking him by crossing both hands forward. But the blow had already hurt him severely. I cried out stifled, but I couldn't help.
Rui looked back many times, she knew we needed her, but she couldn't even move from where she stood, hundreds of ghosts didn't let her go. Now, he's surrounded by himself. No one helped him.
I took out the rest of my energy to replenish the energy of the Magical Beast Necklace. If I can't help, I can at least send Piu Piu to help Rui.
Neo touched my arm, his hand glowed, "I help you, Jian," he smiled, looking bad.
Piu Piu finally came back out after some effort. I asked him to help Rui a dozen meters ahead there.
Now the Great Hall of Dixia Academy was out of shape, everything was destroyed and did not look as charming as before. The lunar eclipse up there is almost over.
Rui's body suddenly glowed, she raised Riu straight with her body, the sky suddenly let out a sinister rumbling sound. Followed by a flash of lightning that struck the Great Hall of Dixia Academy until it was charred unnoticed.
Rui drooped down and was unconscious, I exclaimed, my friend, you should be fine.
"They've committed a serious offense! Take them to jail!" Rux exclaimed again.
That he, out of nowhere, suddenly provoked everyone to give us an attack.
After all the effort, we were still put in their prison. But we really don't steal heirlooms. Really, we're not lying.
