Day 150- 200 Sishui County Part 2

A few hours later, Rexford was currently in his Villa having recently furnished it. A new carpet was installed and most of the maintenance was finished. A few formations to protect the place finished up for a nice comfy home.

"Rexford," Wei Lan had just gotten off the phone and wanted to know what all happened from him. "Wei Rao said you left them to deal with the Witch Lord." She was no fool and knew Rexford was wanting to recruit the Witch Lord forces to take over this Region more easily.

"I didn't leave them, he chose to get involved with someone he shouldn't have." Rexford shrugged at her. Grandmother Snake, Yu She was still going through changes. As well as her pet snake. Chitang in the middle of the two as ambient qi kept swirling around the three of them. "Hmm, so odd."

Rexford looked away not understanding what was going on still just yet. Experiencing his experiences helped the snake evolve faster. With Yu She' having experienced so much in life, it helped Chitang understand Clan dynamics further and older human behavior. But it was better to leave them to whatever was going on and not for Rexford to get involved just yet.

"I have to go help Wei Rao." Wei Lan said after thinking it over.

"Why?"

"He is family." Wei Lan felt it to be weak reasoning but she also liked her cousin. Not wanting him to die for his growing love over someone. As long as she didn't hurt Rexford's business, it would not be a problem. "I won't mess anything up, don't worry."

"Right.. that is the same dumb-ass reason that got Yu Wenjin in this situation." Rexford stated. He didn't move to get up at all. "I told her everything that was going on and what she had going on inside her. Yet still... she returned and refused to attack them back."

"It is hard for some people."

"For dumb people." Rexford snorted. "Her grandmother there and her entire family decided she would be given to the Witch Lord as a resource. Not even trying to resist them or find someone to take care of the problem before it was too late. A mixture of fear and the bonus of power and prestige I guess. Her body allows her to grow stronger faster than others yet she wasted the chances. All she had to do was change her name and face and she would be good to go."

"But her family would have been implicated." Wei Lan wondered why he allowed Chitang to take the grandmother then. 'It has to do with Chitang obviously, but what about doing the right thing? Shouldn't this woman be someone he wants to kill?'

"So what really? I mean the abduction went off pretty well by Biao before. The guy who was tracking her down was killed at the tournament by me. Wasn't even trying to deal with him but he caught me at a bad time really." Letting that sink in, Rexford pulled back his Divine Sense from Grandmother Snake. 'Hmm, she believed the girl wouldn't die from the process. How pitiful. At least I was able to confirm this.'

His own personal feelings aside, Rexford already passed this off to Chitang to do as he saw fit. It would be a great way to see how far he has come with his understanding of the military and learning under Rexford. Not to mention the changes to his soul all this time from so many different stimuli.

*Woosh!* An Array opened in the house as Wei Ziqing, Wei Rao, and Yu Wenjin appeared. The latter two were bloody and tired. Wu Junjie is nowhere in sight. Maybe he died by chance?

"Better not get blood on my new carpet. I just got this house a month ago and this is my first time in it." Rexford frowned seeing them in his place. "Why did you come here dammit?"

"A little help maybe." Wei Ziqing wiped her brow. After hearing about the activity in the area, she rushed over to make sure Wei Rao and Wei Lan were going to be ok. Imagine her surprise when she felt them fighting. 'I have a really bad feeling about this.'

Looking at the floating people, the former Wei heiress was beside herself. She read a few books on Dual Cultivation and participated in Rexford's version of it with other members of the Ansastuken. This however looked to be different.

"Hell no. No reason to get on their bad side." Rexford frowned. "My business involves getting the Ghost & Witch Region under my control. Which would make it very easy to control Shushui County."

"Then let my family higher you." Yu Wenjin cried out.

"You are gonna pay with what exactly?" Rexford arched a brow at them. "I am sure you don't have the stacks for this stupid venture. To think, you wouldn't even have to do this if you listened to me those months ago. Oh, the sweet.. irony I want to say."

The Fear Qi in the room produced by the stupid girl seeped into the floor. Helping power up the formations a lot faster.

"I am sorry Rexford!" Yu Wenjin cried begging him. "I swear I will listen and do whatever it takes to make this right!" Her tears did not move him at all. In fact, it just made everything he was doing easier.

"Make this right, ok then." Rexford tossed a tube with a long injector to her. "Stab this in your hymen and drain the blood there. If you tear the tissue the tissue out, that works fine as well."

"What!?" Wei Lan and Wei Ziqing were both taken aback by this. Wei Rao said nothing as he was already informed this would help her before. Just didn't have it in him to ask her to do it.

"It's her body that he wants, the blood inside contains traces of when she was firstborn. Some of the purest inside her." Turning to Wei Rao, he frowned. "I already gave you chances to solve this, did you forget that?"

"Why not give her another?" Wei Ziqing voiced. But Rexford did not budge at all. Seeing him shake his head in disappointment even. "She is your friend." Seeing him look at his phone only caused her to frown. 'Please do not let that be a business deal gone wrong!'

The meeting was called off. No reason was given but that meant something was troubling the Families in the area. If it was the Witch & Ghost people, that would be a problem. Or, it could be the fact Wei Ziqing arrived as she did and got involved.

"No, she is not. Not even remotely close." Rexford was annoyed now. "You take members of your Wei Family and deal with this. Put your people on the line to take care of this yourself. This will not involve me, do you understand?"

She hesitated. Even with the 3rd Generation being in the Transdecnce realm, they were not at the level to take on a region by themselves. Or at the level of skill to deal with such... responses. Then the fallout it would cause by making the Wei Family more well-known.

"Exactly what I thought." Rexford got up to go to bed. "She brought this on herself and deserves everything that happens to her and those she drags into it. I am not Captain save a dumbass." he gripped while moving. "Must think I'm booboo the fool or something."

*Wooomm!* Erecting a barrier, it enclosed around Chitang, Yu She', and the snake. The formation underneath would help protect them as well. Never could be too careful.

As the four looked at each other in deep thought, they had to deal with Rexford's attitude. They were all still young and still blind to the world and how it works. Some more than others.

"I.. won't let them take her." Wei Rao voiced after some time. "I just can't."

"He is trying to get the Region under his control, what do you think will happen if you get in the way of that?" Wei Lan voiced. "I have gotten to know Rexford well, more than you for the Dark methods with business."

"You are willing to sacrifice one person for money?"

"It is not just money, it is power." Wei Ziqing frowned having to admit it out loud. "I didn't think you would be this weak Yu Wenjin. At least you should have been able to contend with them before everything went the way it did. You have that... never mind."

.

Next morning-

.

Rexford woke up and went to get something to eat after cleaning up. While brushing his teeth out of habit, he smelt the scent of blood quite strongly in his place. Which was pissing him off a little first thing.

Hopefully, Chitang didn't get injured. Turn out Chitang and the other two were fine. Yu She' was holding what looked to be a baby girl. Chitang floating in a deep sleep.

"Why me?" Rexford looked at the members of the Wei 3rd generation covered in blood. His toothbrush almost fell from his mouth. "On my damn .. carpet. Littleshits." His eyebrow twitched angrily.

Seeing Bai Wuji as well, Rexford was at a loss. Why in the hell was he in his house?

"Hey.. wake the hell up." He nudged the cause of all this with his foot. When she didn't get up, he kicked her hard enough she lifted off the ground. "I said get up you dumb bitch!"

"Ugh!" Yu Wenjin came to. Her wounds are only worse a little more now. "Where am I?" The others started to come to as well from the shouting and violent energy. "Wei Rao?!"

"I am ok. Just tired." Wei Rao was missing an arm actually. Lost it to a skeleton by the Young Witch Lord attacking.

"Look at you all beaten like shit. Hopefully, you took care of your problem. Now get dressed and clean the damn blood off my floor. Yah assholes. Implicating me in your bullshit." Rexford walked away to finish getting cleaned up. "Just be calm, it will be ok. Won't come back to bite me."

A few minutes later and they were still there on the floor. Looking helpless.

"What the fuck?" Rexford was a little more annoyed now. "What did I say earlier?"

"We are too exhausted." Wei Ziqing said. "It did not go well and the Young Witch Lord didn't go down easy. Besides the injuries we received, the Alliance with Bai Wuiji and the other Grandmasters had suffered a lot."

"Shame." Rexford shook his head. Mostly in disappointment considering the amount of Transdesence Realm Cultivators that went out. "Should not have gotten involved in the matter."

"I couldn't let her go with the psycho!" Wei Rao was indignant.

"Not a psycho, just a person who cultivated differently than you." Rexford corrected. "All that and nothing to show for it. Shame."

"Yu Wenjin is alive. That is what matters." Wei Lan said. Her eyes searched him to determine something for confirmation.

"Heh, yeah ok." Rexford started to cook himself something to eat. "Make sure you clean my damn floor before leaving Brand new carpet at that."

"Ugh!" Wei Lan sat at the kitchen island. She wanted to help her cousin and didn't think it would have gone that bad. But the skills of the Young Witch Lord were more than she could handle while keeping Yu Wenjin from getting snatched up. "We didn't have anything good to defend against those ghosts."

"Do you want something to eat?" He looked at her over his shoulder.

"Yes please." Wei Lan reached into her pocket and took a water-downed Spirit-Enhancing pill to recover. Her internal wounds healed the moment she returned after the fight to make sure she lived but still had the outside damage to deal with. "We need more combat experience."

Lots of holes in their skills and lots of trouble in fighting. Ruthlessness was lacking and the ability to kill at a higher level.
