Day 150- 200 Sishui County Part 15 Dealing with the Chen Family Part 6 Breaking off

"Rexford," Churan walked over with a plate. It had different shrimps on it. "you like these right?" Remember the time they had a big blow-up at Xu Rongfei's birthday? "Never thought we would be at this type of a point."

"Thank you, you are right." Rexford ate a few of the shrimp. "A few months from now, we should go somewhere. Just the two of us. Might be dangerous, might not be."

"I would like that." Churan smiled beautifully. "So many people around in your life, part of me thinks you won't have time for everyone."

"It is easy actually; nonfixation and openness go a long way. Besides, won't you be busy with school and whatever else you plan on doing in life?" Popping a few more grilled shrimp, he chewed a little longer, savoring the taste.

"True."

"You also need to remember; that we will live a long time if nothing bad happens. Hobbies and education will help for long periods in between. If you want something to really impact the Women in China as a whole, you can go the route of Feminist studies." Rexford racked his brain for a challenging thing for the country. One, he had no intention of putting his hand in himself. That is just suicide for a male to bother with. "The changes at the current rate won't make a big impact until 2015 on up. Which gives you just the right amount of time to prepare."

"Feminism?" Churan was thoughtful for a bit. "Like Sini Dova and the others?"

"I suppose. Or you can do it your own way. They are "people" of Hera, so yeah. Different strokes for different folks. Definitely a challenging path inside martial and outside it."

"I will look into it more; besides a study in business anyway, there is so much I want to do and so little time it feels like."

"Just remember to keep growing stronger; power is the most important thing in a few years." Thinking about the various Xenos that threaten Earth and the idiots that all the area the Abadon Star Region, Rexford had no plans to deal with all the bullshit by himself. 'Still have so much to refine here in this Country to make the Black Gold Vortex stronger.'

'At least seven more junkyards and waste zones are ready for the picking.' The Mini version of himself informed from the Internal Space. 'When the Qi returns in the future to Earth, the Qi Arrays set up in those sites will be more than a help.'

'That and to help fuel a weapon to kill those who try to cause trouble. The Mayans technology really interests me.' Thinking about Space traveling to the nearby planets and stars, a sense of Purpose burned hot in his Soul. 'I need to arrange a visit to the sights of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan, Monte Bello Islands that was bombed by the U.K., French Polynesia, and the rest committed by France in Algeria's desert. Lop Nur site in Xinjiang for China and last but not least Russia.'

'Absorbing nuclear fallout will give a major power boost and understanding of the Gravity, Nature, and Violence Aspect, but will it push your body to the point it will be able to survive the harshness of Space training you plan on going through?' The Mini was not convinced.

'Who knows?' Rexford felt Churan grab his hand and give a simple squeeze. "What is it?"

"You had such a thoughtful expression; I just wanted to know what you were thinking about."

"Nuclear fallout. I wish to visit a few of those locations. It doesn't matter if it is legal or illegal at this point." It wouldn't be hard to do so with his military clearance in China. "In fact... I think I will just buy the areas affected by Xinjiang. Three Mile Island accident of 1979, Clark can maneuver to buy that surrounding area and gain hold of the plant itself in the U.S."

"That will take time, won't it?" Churan didn't think he would be interested in Nuclear Energy.

"Huh, oh yes, but not too long." Rexford stopped talking business and relaxed. He did have shrimp to eat.

Talking small talk with Churan, the time passed by quickly. A few members of the Chen Family tried to talk her up but were shut down to the point it was hilarious.

"We wish for your continued health and prosperity!" The group of influential people said to Youya, Tang, Wang Xiaoyun, and Sini Dova. Showing business connections and personal ties firmly with the women in public.

"That little charity case Youya, they have definitely got the wrong people." A snotty woman stated. Her husband had to do everything in his power from smacking the woman.

"Humph, what a stupid person." An influencer couldn't help but chide the foolish woman. "No wonder the Chen Family is dropping with people like this."

Members of the Wei Family made it over to Rexford when it was convenient. The Fear energy that came off the man was interesting, to say the least. Wei Fu just didn't take the words of Wei Ziqing seriously, it seemed.

Wanting to talk with Rexford directly.

"Wei Fu, you don't have anything to worry about." Rexford stood up, checking his watch. He spent enough time here and wanted to go. "Wei Rao, is not even a concern of mine anymore. Wei Ziqing, Wei Lan, and the others are such outstanding members, I have a very good impression of your family still."

"Haha, that is good, Master Mingyun." Sighing internally, the old soldier's demeanor was happy.

"I only ask that no one gets in the way of their love lives is all. No matter what tradition says." Rexford added in sternly. "Yu Wenjing is.. ok. Just be careful." He shivered in somewhat disgust in regard to her.

"I will keep that in mind." Wei Fu nodded and saw him off.

"Lady Sini Dova, how are you doing?" Wei Ziqing walked off to go and mingle. She honestly thought the situation would have gone badly, but Rexford even helped her relationship with Yang Chao remove a further hurdle. 'Just need him to have more confidence, and we can have some fun!'

Chen Huaian watched everything unfold from afar, crestfallen at the behavior of everyone. Seeing his grandson not showing more respect was only pushed to the side with the rest of the shock today. Wei Fu was showing the utmost care to him instead of taking a strong approach.

Wei Zifang, who stood to the side, had the same look as Chen Xu. One of complete shock at what took place.

Wei Ziqing may be a black sheep, but that didn't mean the old man didn't care for her opinion. Especially with her capability of staying good friends with Rexford. If he knew how much she actually knew, the Wei Family would be flipped upside down on its head.

Emergency Meeting Chen Family-

.

Mingyun Youya and Wang Xiaouyun were sitting across from the shot callers of the Chen Family. Despite the bravado of some, cooler heads were prevailing in the meeting.

"Where is he?" Chen Yuxing called out.

"Busy with important matters." Youya said with steel in her voice. Her adoptive fathers' tone was easy to ignore, but not all she found out from her adoptive mother would let her remain docile. "He will not be here, but as a member of "his" Family, I will speak on his behalf."

"You don't believe he was capable of having connections or being an important person despite everything, that is on you." Wang Xiaoyun was done with the Family. First the Wang's and now the Chen's, just too much backstabbing for one lifetime. To much disappointment. "Go ahead and ask what you want already."

A few grumbled at the woman.

"Very well." Chen Huaion settled them down with an uplifted hand. "Rexford, your husband, is the Master of Chuzou and Special Instructor of the Military, is that correct?"

"That is correct." Youya answered simply.

A few in the group definitely were a little more respectful hearing that. The military always played a role in certain families. The more.. studious and old custom members in the group wanted to find more but left it to there brother Chen Huaion's hands.

"Chen Zhengxing is the only one that has helped of late, so we will communicate with him if need be in the future."

"Of course.. that is fine." Chen Huaion looked at his son and only thought the situation was odd. Not pressing the matter, he continued on. "What does Master Mingyun plan to do in regards to the Chen Family?"

"Nothing. It is best the Family goes its separate ways, too many enemies to deal with on both sides." Youya stated.

"Then would it not be better to have a united front?" Chen Qianxing wanted to gain a few of the assets before cutting away from them. So his nephew had some martial accomplishments and some money from an entertainment industry deal, in the hands of a "child" it would only be wasted.

"This would make others think twice." Chen Yuxing felt the situation was going in a bad direction. Barely catching his brother's look of greed. "After he calms down from this tantrum, I am sure that son of mine will listen to what is best."

Wang Xiaoyun furrowed her brow a little. Her husband was just to... placating towards his Family. Having caught the intent of a few as they thought their whispers unheard, she was not happy with them at all.

"This is the end of discussions." Youya stood up with Wang Xiaoyun doing the same. Both cultivators found themselves disgusted with the whispers they heard. "A parting gift to help with the cancer you have kept from them all." She placed a box with 5 Sprit Enhancing Pills on it with a Big Red Pill that had veins on it. "Take the five little ones then the big one after."

The Big Red Pill had a Blood Curse inside it that would affect the line of whoever took it in. As well as the Cultivation manual of the Five Elements Sect inside. A good way to use the Chen Family further down the line when the time calls for it.

"For the little help, you have given me over the years." Wang Xiaoyun left first. A solemn look on her face. Luckily Tang was there to cheer her up outside. "Hey!"

"Come on, divorce is not that bad. You wouldn't believe how much fun I have been having since then. No pressure to make sure that ex-husband of mine had problems. Time to spend with my daughter. Not to mention sleeping in on the weekends!"

"Haha, let's go do something fun then!" Wang Xiaoyun was already infected by her cheer. Feeling free and liberated from the confined marriage, she thought about how to enjoy her life second by second.

A friend & Champion-

.

Teleport after Teleport, a man dressed in armor traveled. Not staying more than a millisecond letting his body burn away as it was used for energy. The path taken guided by a Light Gold Nimbus of Purpose kept him from getting lost.

*Schup!* Another Teleport and his physical body's last remains were gone. Which made it harder to keep his Spirit Energy from dissipating. A Black and Red Wormhole opened as he shot through directly toward his target in a big jump.

"Hmm?" Rexford looked at the sky as something brushed against his Soul. His Aspect of Purpose flaring up and pulling on the feeling with that of Space. 'This... feels familiar.' Not wanting to be completely unguarded, his Divine Sense wrapped around the presence. 'A man with a red monkey tail?'

Confused, the Champion pried and found whatever it was. The Fear made him so alarmed the Master Hands formed up with his Divine Sense pulling towards Rexford as fast as possible.

'Why are you so scared to reach me!?' Confusion on his face, he focused more on getting the dissipating energy to reach him.

"Everything ok!?" Sini Dova felt his Qi and came over as quickly as she could.

Putting his hands on the spirit, he wrapped it up with Pure Rich Qi from the Black Gold Vortex. Rousing his friend, he was surprised when a vial was pulled out instead into his hand with a note.
