Chapter 589: Arrival at Mobe! No One to Meet Us?

Mobe, the largest supercity on Blue Star, is extremely prosperous.

Located in the northwestern part of Dayangzhou, its total area reaches six hundred thousand square kilometers, with a population of over one hundred and twenty million!

Mobe has no suburbs; every area is urban.

The entire city is protected by walls over seventy meters high and more than ten meters thick.

An energy defense net is also deployed in the sky, killing any flying beast below sixth rank upon contact.

In the northern district of Mobe lies a major aviation port.

Whether public flights or private fighter jets, all must take off and land here.

Around the port, over a thousand adepts carry weapons and patrol continuously, barring entry to anyone without a ticket.

Boom—

At that moment, accompanied by the thunderous roar of fighter jet engines.

A jet entirely black flew in from the horizon.

The sky defense net automatically opened a gap, and the jet slowly descended toward the port.

Some passengers on public flights watched the fighter jet with curiosity and envy.

Private fighter jets are not even guaranteed for seventh-rank peak adepts.

Not to mention this is a Chi Xiao-class fighter jet, among the most powerful in private hands.

Hiss—

The jet landed smoothly, and its hatch opened.

Nine people stepped down from the jet.

Leading them was a slender woman with refined, mature features and a tear mole at the corner of her eye.

On either side stood a young man and a young woman.

The woman on the left was in her early twenties, with deep blue eyes, a tall figure, and a cold, detached aura.

The young man on the right had a rugged face, a Gao Da build, and emitted a faint aura of danger.

This group was none other than Ling Shuang and the others who had departed from the Lei Ting Martial Arts Headquarters.

"Is this Mobe?"

Xu Jingming looked around; Xia Lan also examined the surroundings curiously.

They had departed at 9:30 a. m., so according to Daxia time, they should have arrived at 7 p. m.

But Mobe is two hours ahead of Daxia; the local time here is 9 p. m.

Though it was night, the surroundings remained brightly lit.

Distant skyscrapers glowed with neon lights; the entire city radiated modernity and prosperity.

"Ladies and gentlemen!

Welcome to Blue Star's largest supercity—Mobe!

The airport exit is on your right; please this way."

A staff member waiting inside the airport bowed respectfully.

Passengers on public flights received no such treatment; only powerful individuals with private fighter jets were accorded this honor.

He spoke Daxia language, and among the six major powers of Blue Star, only the people of Daxia had Asian features.

This way, even if they mistook the country, the other party would not feel offended.

"Let's go." Ling Shuang placed her hand on the jet, and in the next instant, the entire fighter jet was absorbed into her space ring.

Seeing this, the staff member's demeanor grew even more respectful as he led the way.

After passing through a long corridor, Xu Jingming and the others exited the aviation port.

They arrived at the outer exit.

Here, many people waited to pick up arrivals.

Most had foreign faces—Black and White.

Many held pick-up signs, yet none bore the Lei Ting Martial Arts logo.

"No one's here to pick us up?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

Ling Shuang, after all, is an eighth-rank Zhongweida Sect master with an S-rank ability.

Upon arriving in Mobe, the local Lei Ting Martial Arts branch, as host, should at least have sent someone to greet them.

"They'd rather we didn't come at all—why would they bother assigning someone to wait?"

Ling Shuang seemed to have anticipated this; she showed no concern, but her eyes grew slightly colder:

"If they won't come to meet us, we'll go to them ourselves.

I've visited the Dayangzhou branch of Lei Ting Martial Arts before! Let's go!"

Boom!!

Spatial energy spread, and before the stunned gaze of passersby,

Ling Shuang and her group—including Xu Jingming—vanished from their spot.

Xu Jingming's vision went black; when he regained awareness, he stood before the Lei Ting Martial Arts building.

The Lei Ting Martial Arts building in Mobe was constructed in a style similar to Daxia's.

On the side of each building, dozens of meters tall, was a massive blue lightning emblem.

These buildings formed a connected complex—over a dozen in total!

More than a dozen giant blue lightning emblems glowed brilliantly under the night sky.

Paired with the towering, beast-like structures, the sight was magnificent.

Ling Shuang and her group's sudden teleportation immediately drew startled glances from those nearby.

The doorman at the front of Lei Ting Wu Guan's main building also paled slightly and hurriedly dialed a call.

Hearing Ling Shuang paid no attention to the gazes around her and led Xu Jingming and the others straight toward the first floor of the martial hall.

However, they had only just stepped into the lobby when a man in a suit, accompanied by several others, hurried over to greet them:

"You must be Supervisor Ling? I'm the hall master's assistant, Zhao Song.

My apologies, my apologies. Hall Master Liu is still busy with other matters.

He specifically instructed us to go to the airport to pick you up, but we didn't expect you to arrive this quickly.

Truly sorry — this is truly an oversight on our part."

This Zhao Song opened with a triple apology, looking very sincere.

Xu Jingming, however, frowned.

If you really had that intention, why didn't you do it earlier?

Don't tell me a seventh-rank Grandmaster like you would forget they were coming today.

Hearing Ling Shuang clearly wasn't buying it either and said nothing in reply.

Zhao Song wasn't embarrassed either and continued:

"We've already prepared accommodations and a lavish dinner for Supervisor Ling and all the students.

Let's go — I'll take you there now."

"No need for a dinner. We've had a long journey and want to head straight to the lodging area to rest.

Just have the evening meal delivered to the lodging area."

Hearing Ling Shuang shook her head, the cool detachment on her pretty face growing more pronounced.

Even Xu Jingming could tell that Teacher Ling Shuang was genuinely a bit angry now.

"That works too."

Zhao Song said thoughtfully, "Supervisor Ling, you'll be staying alone in a standalone villa.

As for the other students, they'll have to make do with two people per villa.

But each villa has two floors, so privacy is absolutely not a concern."

"Xu Jingming is not a student. This time he's here in the capacity of an instructor — give him a standalone villa as well."

After a pause, Hearing Ling Shuang added: "Just arrange it next to my villa."

"It's doable, but arranging it right away might be a bit difficult."

Zhao Song said somewhat awkwardly, "We've prepared a total of five villas for you all.

One for Supervisor Ling, and the remaining students two per villa.

Even if we wanted to free up another one, I'm afraid it would have to wait until tomorrow.

Tonight, we'll have to trouble Student Xu... no, Teacher Xu to make do for one night."

As he spoke, Zhao Song looked at Xu Jingming with an apologetic expression.
