[One-on-one, both virgins, guide disciplinary authority]
Lu Zheng is the Tower’s most incorrigible S-class sentinel. He smokes, drinks, picks fights, and has driven away six personal guides in five years.
The Tower issued a final order: if no one could rein him in, his mental landscape would be destroyed.
Gu Lanzhi took the case.
Gu Lanzhi is the Tower’s chief guide, a major general with a cold face, a cold demeanor, and a cold heart. They say not a single sentinel he has disciplined has ever failed to behave.
When news came that their compatibility was 98%, everyone in the Tower started betting on how many days Lu Zheng would last.
Three days.
On the first day, the two fought in the detention room. Lu Zheng broke two ribs.
On the second day, Lu Zheng tried to run, but Gu Lanzhi cornered him on the training grounds and broke another rib.
On the third day, Lu Zheng was lying in a medical pod when he heard Gu Lanzhi tell a nurse, “Once he’s discharged, send him straight to my quarters.”
“He’ll live with me during his disciplinary period.”
Lu Zheng spent the night writing a thirty-page appeal.
The next day, he found the report in Gu Lanzhi’s hands, with two words written on it: Denied.
