Day 46 -72 Rexford compomises

A few matters were postponed when Rexford returned. He was not that social at the moment. With most going to bed or taking care of personal matters it was fine by them.

Sini Dova and Yanyan Hu did their best to comfort him. Which works pretty dang well after they get undressed. All the QI gathered during the tournament needed some refining. And they stroked him good enough to do it in various ways.

As well as increase the qi overall for them.

"Definitely worth it." Rexford muttered. Sini Dova resting behind Yanyan Hu, who was propped on his chest. Ambient Qi swirling around all three. "The advance in the Black Gold Sun Art was tempered a lot by both of them."

Rexford gave them a look over and was definitely happy for the two.

Sini Dova took the "heat" with no problem. And Yanyan Hu released a "chill" that kept everything from melting in the room. He would need to improve the protection formations around the place to make sure anyone playing around won't result in burning the place down.

Rexford could feel the change in the Black Gold Sun Art. Regular Cold Qi wouldn't do a single thing to him as well as Sun Qi that was volatile. Which was what he wanted. He would be able to absorb solar flares with no issues and the sun as he got to space. The time to start eating stars was getting closer and closer.

Too bad spaceships were so expensive. And flying amongst the stars just seemed like a Death Sentence at his current stage.

A'Xiu, Chang Wen, Yanyan Hu, Yu Wenjing, and Ji Xingyun were excited about the trip. Chang Wen & Yu Wenjing spent a lot of time teaching A'Xiu scholastic work to make up for lacking education.

Yanyan Hu spent her time brushing up on information in the area they were going to.

With the assistance of Sini Dova, they would take a bus since there were so many people going. Wei Lan and Wei Ziqing were going with them as well at first. Nervous since Rexford hadn't said a single word about what happened so it changed. Wei Lan had enough courage to handle the situation. So she still decided to go.

Which was fine since Wei Ziqing would help take care of Yang Chao.

It was funny since the two weren't in trouble, just thought they were.

Biao, the Wei 3rd generation, the remaining serving women, and of course, Sini Dova would take care of Jiangbei while they traveled. With the troublemaker Tiva finally coming around, matters settled down more in his home. With most of them comfortable enough to start looking for their own place.

Since the Su family would have to think twice bout moving against all of Jiangbei and its master.

Sini Dova was happy when the rest of them stepped into the Transcendent Realm. With their cultivation hidden thanks to them being Aspiring Champions and with Rexford techniques he passed over, their worries dropped some more and allowed them to enjoy life more.

Rexford had poked and prodded the mind of Wu Shanhe. The connection of the soul as an Agent made it easier with the Ghost cultivator helping. The Ghost Manual he practiced was incomplete, but it was filled easily enough with the help of the knowledge at Rexford's disposal.

"Ghosts of Taiji.. what an unusual manual." Wu Shanhe muttered. His eyes lit up and turned a dark icy gray. His hair turning completely silver now. The bangs look more like downward demon horns. "I can feel all the years of knowledge from that spirit that was sealed."

"That is good." Rexford nodded satisfied with the process. "From here on out, you are the opposite of Ji Xingyu. The "good" stuff will be done by him. The "bad" by you when it comes to spirits."

Both understood this was something that was needed. Looking between his two Ghost Specialist disciples, Rexford was happy that he acquired a darker-minded person. Too many good people are bad for business. Yang Chao, Wu Yunjin, and Jiang Churan were proof of that.

"So everything is good between us?" Wei Ziqing asked to be certain.

"Yes, but I do own your lives now. So do train hard to stay alive." Rexford commented. "I expect more from you now in keeping matters handled." They were after all Agents first and foremost.

"Of course. Glad I made the right decision." Wei Ziqing relaxed in her chair. "So many businesses under you now. Glad my cultivation has increased enough for me to handle certain matters better. My studies are definitely easier now."

"To much brawn and beauty cousin." Wei Lan laughed a little. "But at least it is better to be with Rexford than someone the family would arrange." Seeing the raised brow of Rexford she clarified. "Despite our strength increasing the family still didn't allow for certain matters. Wei Wiping is still getting groomed to be the head of the Family."

"And with us having more value than before, some of the elders started putting pressure on Father and Grandfather to make marriage ties. But that is completely null and void now." Wei Ziqing was a little annoyed by that but let it go overall. Putting it behind her to look forward to a better future. "Everyone else of the Wei 3rd generation followed with us. So we have a force to reckon with."

"Try not to use the Wei connections to suppress people in the open. That will not serve my business well." Rexford topped off his drink again. "Grow your own assets and connections more."

Several of them thought about the Chuzhou masters who had great opportunities.

"I will. The photography business you have, the studio for the Entertainment industry will need someone strong to lead it. Sini Dova is managing everything right now and showing me the ropes. I will be more than busy with what I need and want."

"The club Coco is running well enough by that woman, so best I manage something else. I like to travel the same as you, so I will look more into that. I am sure several places need further investigating?" Wei Lan was happy Rexford nodded in approval. "Then I will look into Transportation more."

"My father's hotel business is picking up a little more, so that is what I will get into." Yang Chao didn't look most in the eye after his decision to not fight the Muay Thai Expert. "Some of the properties you have need rework as well."

"That is more than fine. It suits you along with the club scene. Both you and Jiang Churan should learn what you can from the manager at Coco and give her some ideas. I also believe some of the Serving Women have ideas about that as well." Rexford sipped his drink for a moment then turned to Wu Shanhe. "Both you and Ji Xingyu will take care of Ghost and Spirit sightings in the province after we get back. The strength to expand is not there yet to deal with the others."

"Taking care of Jiangbei alone will take a lot." Wu Shanhe answered.

"What about me?" Biao asked.

"Checking on those such as Xing Hong, Xu Ao, and the others who opposed us. But also the Demolish worksites." Rexford downed his drink turning to those of the Wei generation. "From my understanding, most of you just want to focus on martial arts. That is fine since people will try to cause trouble for us."

"Umm," the shy one among the group, Wei Rao stepped up. "in one of the meetings you mentioned a Green Project. Can I.. I mean if.. if no one is working on it, can I manage it?"

"No problem by me but you have to understand I am managing it personally. If you do, I just need you to hire people to separate materials from the landfills and abandoned buildings once they are demolished. Which people generally do not want to do."

"I know a few. If environmental suits are getting paid for, I can definitely get people involved!" Wei Rao was excited.

"Sure, get with.." He stopped in his words. Staring at Yu Wenjing who was flustered a good bit. "What is it?"

"I want to get involved in that to." Yu Wenjing didn't want to be useless and just train all the time. "I am good at organzing things."

"That is fine but that "matter" is not solved. So what are you going to do about your name? You still haven't adjusted to your cover name. In fact, several times you answer to your given name."

"I don't know, it is hard." Yu Wenjing pouted. "I will figure something out."

"Haa, fine. Whatever happens, is on you." Rexford shook his head annoyed. "Now for arrangements at school."

A'Xiu frowns at that. She was somewhat nervous, especially with her age higher than others.

.

School Arrangement-

.

Rexford had spoken with the school and informed them about personal matters that would require him to leave school for a while. His request to test out was denied since they wanted him to help improve the school's standing.

A compromise was reached. He would take his tests and not let his grades drop. In exchange, they would not require him to attend school every day. To sweeten the deal further for the school, he introduced A'Xiu as a student. Due to financial issues, she was forced to drop out of school back home.

The school required her to take a test to see where she was academically. Thanks to the super sessions from Chang Wen, Jiang Churan, Sini Dova, Wei Lan, and Yanya Hu, she performed remarkably. It helped her cultivation improve her memory as well as mental processing.

Leaving the office, the three ran into people they knew. With matters taken care of Sini Dova left. She was only there to act as a guardian for A'Xiu.

"Excuse me." Rexford received a call and stepped away. "A'Xiu wanting to enjoy the school experience more left with Jiang Churan, Yang Chao, Ji Xingyu, and Zhang Yumeng. "What is it?"

Xu Rongfei spotted him and started following to talk to him. She waited patiently while he spoke on the phone.

Ay Youya: Brother Chen.. I mean Rexford how are you doing?

"Business is going ok. Calling me during school hours, so something must be up." Rexford was not in the mood to play games or beat around the bush. "Say what you need to say."

Ay Youya: Yang Li told us some troubling news. She warned us that Jin City might not be safe for a while for members of the Chen Family. Something about you beating the tar out of Xiao Wang and putting him in a near-death state.

"That did happen. Make her tell you everything that happened while she is at it. As for that family, I will deal with them right now actually. Someone may call you asking some questions. Make sure you answer it." Rexford then hung up and made a call. "Yanyan Hu, get me in touch with those of the Xiao family that stay in Jin City."

Yanyan Hu already had the info thanks to A'Xiao's connections. A message was already delivered to them and if they didn't play ball, Xiao Wang and his friends' "antics" would spread more than just in Jin City but all of China and overseas.

The moment the call ended, Xu Rongfei stepped up to him.

"Do I know you?" Rexford arched a brow at her.

"My father.. I.. I am sorry what happened." Xu Rongfei stuttered. A few students had gathered around to watch what took place between the school Belle and the not-so-normal Rexford.

"Again, do I know you?" Rexford didn't care what she had to say really. "I don't know you and you have nothing to explain to me. What this "father" of yours wants to say through you. It does not need to be heard."

He turned and walked off. Leaving the tearing-up teen there. She chooses a father over an opportunity, which was fine some people thought. But all it took was her father's business getting threaten into submission and losing a bodyguard for him to cave in.

Asking her to get close to Rexford to save the business. Mostly due to his wife chewing him out at the loss of "face" and money. But Rexford was not done with the Xu''s just yet. Just enough with the matter for now. It was agreed upon after all for the sake of business chances.

The moment the Xu's mess up, however, well...

That was easy to imagine what will happen.
