Chapter 865

"It's the Inspector!"

"Inspector Xu has come to our area!"

"Haha, it seems Inspector Xu will settle down in Moon Lake Community."

"No wonder Master Fu came out—he was here to welcome the Inspector!"

"......"

When Xu Jingming appeared at the entrance of Moon Lake Community, gasps and stunned murmurs followed.

Dozens of eyes turned toward him, filled with shock or delight.

The appointment of the Metropolitan Inspector by Lei Ting Martial Arts was announced on their official website.

Aside from high-level psychics, ordinary people rarely paid attention to such news.

But Lei Ting Martial Arts members were an exception—they learned of the news on the very day the announcement was posted.

No one expected Xu Jingming's final residence would be in Moon Lake Community.

"Xiaoming, you got here so fast?"

Aunt Xu Qingwan's eyes lit up with delight.

"Cousin Jingming," Cousin Tang Qi also smiled.

Although the heat of Metropolis had passed, she still wore a light, casual outfit.

Her long, straight legs beneath the denim shorts were pale as jade.

"With Teacher Ling's spatial psychic ability, I can instantly arrive anywhere in Metropolis."

Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

In truth, he hadn't seen his aunt or cousin in person for over a year.

"Inspector, Captain Fu Xingye reports to you."

At that moment, Fu Xingye, the eighth-rank Master Zongshi who had been waiting nearby, stepped forward with his team and bowed respectfully.

Three days had passed since Xu Jingming's battle at Lei Ting Martial Arts Headquarters had spread far and wide.

Instantly killing an eighth-rank peak Master Zongshi—what kind of terrifying combat power was that?

Some even claimed Xu Jingming had reached ninth-rank strength!

Whether true or not, to Fu Xingye, Xu Jingming was an unreachable presence.

His reverence was not feigned.

"Hmm, let's go. Take us to the villa."

Xu Jingming nodded.

Fu Xingye then led the way, and amid the envious gazes of those around, the group marched into the community.

"Moon Lake Community is divided into four zones, each with extremely complete facilities."

"Your residence as Inspector is Villa No. 1 in Zone 3; as for your aunt..."

As an eighth-rank mid-tier Master Zongshi specializing in assassination,

Fu Xingye was known for killing without hesitation, having eliminated countless targets for the Martial Arts Association.

Yet after entering the community, he took on the role of a guide, continuously describing the residential environment.

"Xiaoqi, don't you feel like this Master Fu is being overly respectful toward Xiaoming?"

Aunt Xu Qingwan tugged on Tang Qi's sleeve beside her and whispered.

"I'm not sure what's going on either..." Tang Qi was equally bewildered.

Even if Xu Jingming was the sole disciple of Director Su Qingli, why would this eighth-rank Master Zongshi lower himself so much?

"Alright, here is the villa for you, Inspector."

Minutes later, Fu Xingye stopped the group before a luxurious villa.

To the left stood another villa, smaller in area but equally refined.

"Aunt, your villa is the one on the left—it's a bit smaller, but it should be more than enough."

Xu Jingming smiled and explained.

"It's not small at all—we're only three people, it's more than enough," Aunt Xu Qingwan hurriedly said.

Jokingly,

Even a seventy-square-meter unit in a premium community like Moon Lake would be worth moving into.

And that smaller villa looked at least three hundred square meters.

"Good."

Xu Jingming nodded and turned to Fu Xingye and the others: "You may leave now. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Yes."

Fu Xingye bowed respectfully and withdrew; the group quickly dispersed.

They did not go far—instead, they guarded nearby, invisible to casual observation.

"Xiaoming, who are they...?"

After Fu Xingye and the others left, Aunt Xu Qingwan finally found a chance to ask, puzzled.

"They're my guard team. They're responsible for your safety. If you need anything, just ask them."

After Xu Jingming explained calmly, his aunt's expression turned stunned, her head spinning.

Good heavens, what level has Xiaoming reached now?

He can make an eighth-rank Master Zongshi serve as his bodyguard?

"By the way, Cousin Qi, that captain's psychic ability is similar to yours—'Shadow Cat'—both are assassin-type."

"If you have any cultivation questions later, you can ask him—he probably won't refuse."

Xu Jingming turned his head to look at Tang Qi.

His relatives were not many; his aunt and uncle had already missed the golden period of cultivation.

Without investing top-tier resources, spending several years would at most allow them to break through to the third or fourth tier.

But his cousin Tang Qi was different—she possessed a B-rank ability, and in the future, she might not fail to break through to the eighth tier.

"Seek guidance from an eighth-tier Master Zongshi on cultivation?"

Tang Qi widened her eyes, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

You have to understand that even the principal of their school was only a peak seventh-rank Grandmaster!

Now she had access to a Master Zongshi-level expert for guidance—this treatment was simply too good...

Afterward, Xu Jingming brought his aunt's family back to the villa to rest and chat.

During this time, his aunt Xu Qingwan enthusiastically chatted with Hearing Ling Shuang, Song Qiuyun, and Jiang Chuxuan.

But she did not pressure them to marry or have children, as ordinary elders might.

On one hand, Xu Jingming was young, not yet twenty-one.

On the other hand, she knew Xu Jingming was currently in the golden age for strengthening his power.

With monsters still not eradicated, power was everything.

After lunch, his aunt's family returned to their own villa to rest, and Xu Jingming entered the training room with Hearing Ling Shuang and the others to cultivate.

Around two in the afternoon, the villa's doorbell rang.

Eva, who had already taken full control of the villa's smart systems, directly projected the front-door camera feed into the training room.

Outside the door stood two middle-aged men, one tall and one short.

"Inspector Xu, we are the Regional Chairmen of Shanghai and Jiangsu Province, here specifically to pay our respects."

Their voices emerged from the holographic projection, filled with deep respect.
