34: Xie Ning's house was vandalized?

Early the next morning, before students had started classes and before corporate drones had begun work, a piece of news had already spread across most of Flower City.

In Huajing Residential Area, known as the best-secured neighborhood in Flower City, a homeowner had actually encountered an attack in their own home.

One had to know that Huajing Residential Area was where most of Flower City's wealthy and influential people lived, yet it had actually been attacked.

For a time, people were buzzing with discussion, speculating on the reason for the attack and the outcome.

At the Lu residence, Lu Yimin was sitting at the dining table reading the news and browsing various rumors on the internet when a series of hurried "thump-thump-thump" footsteps came from upstairs.

Huang Qiuwan, passing through the hallway, looked up and shouted, "Yun'er, walk slower, don't trip."

Soon, Lu Bingyun ran down with her hair disheveled. Her eyes, fresh from sleep, still had red streaks. She ran to Lu Yimin's side and said, "Dad, I heard someone in our neighborhood was attacked at home."

"Mhm, I know." Lu Yimin nodded.

Lu Bingyun quickly asked again, "I saw online it said Area C No. 22. Isn't that where Xie Ning's house is?"

"Don't worry, Young Friend Xie is in no danger." As Lu Yimin spoke, he turned to Lu Bingyun, a faint smile appearing on his solemn face. "Speaking of which, you also know the person who attacked him; it's that worthless brat from the Madman Hunter Group."

"You mean Li Zhi? But... why would he attack Xie Ning in the middle of the night? It's not like they have some deep-seated hatred!" Lu Bingyun covered her small mouth, her voice filled with shock.

Lu Yimin put down his cup, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said, "Who knows. Don't go making wild guesses. If you're really worried, then hurry up, change your clothes, and eat breakfast. After you finish, go to school and ask him yourself, then you'll know."

On the other side, at the Mo Family Cultivation Shop.

The originally peaceful morning was broken by Mo Yu's scream. As she looked at the news being discussed in the campus group, she was so shocked she forgot to maintain her composure.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing? Scaring people first thing in the morning." Mo Han's slender hand reached out with lightning speed, covering Mo Yu's mouth and saving the trembling glass on the windows.

"Sis, Great God Xie's house was attacked! Look!" Mo Yu didn't have time to play around with her sister and handed over the phone, which displayed a clear picture.

Mo Han was startled and quickly took the phone. After reading, she couldn't help but furrow her brows, lost in thought. After a moment, she asked, "Xiao Yu, he borrowed the rabbit from you yesterday, right?"

Mo Yu nodded.

Mo Han continued, "In that case, there shouldn't be any danger. Don't forget the rabbit's talent; it's unlikely someone could fight their way to his doorstep without him knowing."

"That's true..." Mo Yu thought for a bit, also hoping what her sister said was true.

"Whatever, I'll know once I get to school." After saying that, Mo Yu grabbed her backpack and ran out of the cultivation shop, waving her right hand. "Sis, I'm in a hurry, no breakfast for me, bye-bye~"

"Hey! You didn't take your phone!" Mo Han watched Mo Yu's disappearing figure, clutching her forehead in speechlessness. She prepared to put the phone in the desk, but her hand accidentally swiped, and she saw that clear picture again.

It was a photo taken from outside a small villa.

The front door was knocked down on the ground, revealing eight hideous, torn gashes. The ground was covered in shattered glass shards, the floor was full of cracks, and the turf on both sides had been directly overturned and hung on the courtyard's outer wall... Standing on the ground full of glass shards, Xie Ning sighed, explained a few things to the people surrounding the villa, and then picked up a broom to start cleaning.

While cleaning, Xie Ning also muttered, "I was careless after all. I was so focused on dodging that I forgot to blast the Evil Eye Black Tiger out, which hurt my poor grass and glass... Oh right, and the front door. Forget it, I'll settle these accounts with them later."

The Supersonic Mantis, which was briskly cutting the broken door into countless small pieces, followed with a nod, agreeing with Xie Ning's words. Its hands didn't stop, and it soon packed all the door fragments into a bag.

On top of a small mound of piled-up grass to the side, the Wind-Listening Rabbit was holding a Spiritual Carrot and munching happily.

After Xie Ning finished cleaning the courtyard, he looked at the time.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late! Little Mantis, Bunny, let's go." Xie Ning tossed the broom and dustpan aside, scooped up the Wind-Listening Rabbit, grabbed the Supersonic Mantis's arm, and under its lead, flew into the distance, leaving behind a blur and a mess that hadn't been fully tidied up.

When Xie Ning arrived at school, he was already several minutes late. The students had all returned to their respective classes, so he hurried back to his own seat in class.

Fortunately, many classmates in the class didn't know where he lived; otherwise, they certainly wouldn't be so calm right now.

Class time passed quickly. As the bell rang for the end of class, fun-loving students swarmed out of the classroom, but two figures from different directions were heading toward Class 1 of Senior Year 3.

The two of them stepped into Class 1 of Senior Year 3 almost simultaneously.

These two were none other than Lu Bingyun and Mo Yu. They had originally intended to get to school early to confirm Xie Ning's situation, but who would have thought that by the time the bell rang, neither of them had seen Xie Ning return. So, as soon as class ended, they rushed over again.

Seeing Xie Ning sitting perfectly fine in his seat, the two Girls let out a long sigh of relief.

On Xie Ning's desk, the moment the Wind-Listening Rabbit saw Mo Yu, it immediately dropped its carrot and ran into Mo Yu's arms, acting spoiled.

"Why are you two here?" Xie Ning looked at the two Girls curiously.

"What do you think?" Mo Yu gave Xie Ning a sidelong glance, sat down beside him carelessly, and then asked, "What's the deal with your house exploding?"

Xie Ning: "..."

What do you mean by my house exploding? Do you even know how to talk... Lu Bingyun sat in an empty seat. Seeing Xie Ning's confusion, she explained, "There was a news report today saying that Huajing Residential Area Area C No. 22 was attacked. That happens to be your house. What exactly happened?"

In the class, the crowd who had been turned to stone because the Campus Belle had come in to find Xie Ning suddenly erupted into an uproar upon hearing this news.

A Girl covered her small mouth and said incredulously, "Student Xie Ning actually lives in Huajing Residential Area. I didn't expect him to be a hidden tycoon!"

Her deskmate followed up, "But didn't the news come out this morning saying his home was attacked? How is he still sitting here as if nothing happened?"

"How is that possible? Not only does Xie Ning know the Campus Belle, but he also lives in that kind of high-end residential area..." A male student who was reciting the Monster Encyclopedia had bloodshot eyes, and his mouth was chewing vigorously.

"Classmate, what are you eating? It's so sour."

"A lemon. You want some?"

"Give me half. I'm feeling sour too."

"...Oh, I just finished chewing half. Don't mind it, the other half is yours."

The three of them didn't care about their classmates' exclamations.

As the Campus Belle, Lu Bingyun was already accustomed to all kinds of noisy reactions. Xie Ning had been in the spotlight recently, and he had been watched like a monkey quite a few times. As for Mo Yu, she was completely used to it from following the two of them... To Lu Bingyun's question, Xie Ning replied, "That's right. In the early morning, Li Zhi suddenly came to my door wanting to deal with me. He was beaten back by my Demon Tamers Beast and fled on the Evil Eye Black Tiger. As for where he went, I don't know."

"That's it?"

Mo Yu had already picked up the Spiritual Carrot the Wind-Listening Rabbit had dropped on the table. Just as she took a bite, the story ended, leaving her unsure whether to chew or not.

She thought it would be a very intense battle, but she didn't expect him to just summarize the beginning and the end.

Please, can you tell it properly?

What about the process?

Even authors wouldn't dare to be this short and concise, okay?!
