Execution Office

Wen Li placed both hands behind her back, her voice tense: "The human body's vital points include the temples, the throat......"

. She spoke while raising her gaze, quickly scanning the seated woman before her.

Fu Guang quickly browsed the knowledge that a novice guide should know on the optical brain; fortunately, it was all superficial knowledge, not exceeding her cognition.

Fu Guang elegantly sipped tea, listening to Wen Li's answer, nodding.

The child is teachable; one can see Wen Li's effort at this stage.

Raising the little girl is like nurturing her medicinal herbs; she also wants to see what the girl will become, whether she will bring any surprises.

"Not bad." Fu Guang gave encouragement, then said, "I checked the entry/exit records—you haven't left for a month, have you?"

"Going out on the Star Net is the same." Wen Li said, the Smart Brain had constructed on the Star Net a world completely like reality, where human sensation hardly differs.

In the interstellar era, people have many choices; even if one never leaves home their whole life, they will never get bored.

Fu Guang spends little time on the Star Net, almost only for communication and information lookup; using mental power to log onto the Star Net, she must restrain her mental power so the Smart Brain doesn't detect it—too troublesome.

Inside Alliance University, besides the two of them, everyone is a high-ranking Sentinel; if she encountered a Sentinel like a mad dog, it would still be too dangerous for Wen Li.

Fu Guang rose and stroked the girl's soft black hair—how did she make up her mind to come to this tiger‑and‑leopard wolf den?

"Study hard, keep it up. If you perform this well next time, sis, how about I take you out to play with mechs?"

"Thank you, sister." Wen Li's eyes lit up, space rippled open, and she watched the woman's figure gradually fade.

I'm going out for a bit.

Stepping on the carpet in the original bedroom, Fu Guang raised an eyebrow.

The room was spotless, not a speck of dust visible, all indoor furnishings had been replaced, and a plush carpet was laid in the bedroom, feeling very soft underfoot.

"Milady." A knocking sound came from the closed door, and Shu Tong's voice said.

Fu Guang opened the door; Shu Tong stood at the side, the little white bird on her shoulder chirping at her.

"Nothing went wrong on the way, right?" Fu Guang observed the tall woman with her mental power; her breath was steady, her mental power stable.

"No problem." Shu Tong kept pace with Fu Guang, after sensing a bit, she asked, "Is Lord Xiguang not here?"

Guard Sentinels must never leave their guides; this is the rule Sentinels must follow.

"He should be in the Execution Team."

Downstairs, someone chimed in, "Guide Milady, you look in good shape today."

Tingzhu walked out of the training room, a faint chill on his forehead, his muscles after a workout fuller, exuding an explosive power.

But it made the already sturdy person look even more sturdy, standing there like a wall that could rise and fall.

Noticing Fu Guang's gaze never stopping, sweeping over him, Tingzhu narrowed his eyes, wondering if his muscles weren't beautiful enough?

He dared say that ninety-nine percent of Sentinels couldn't match his muscular, power-filled physique.

Behind him appeared a pure white cat about a meter tall, purple lightning crackling around it; its heavy paw pads stepped silently on the ground, its long tail swept, and its erect golden pupils looked toward Fu Guang.

Shu Tong had seen this Luwu before; it usually appeared over five meters tall and could tear an A+ rank aberration apart with one bite.

The Luwu stepped with steady strides; as it moved, its leg muscles regularly extended and contracted.

When its tail was still, it was like a rod; now it swayed slightly behind it, its erect pupils fixed on the woman upstairs, it slowly ascended the stairs soundlessly, gradually approaching Fu Guang who was looking at it.

Danger, danger.

Shu Tong's mind screamed, but she couldn't leave; she stepped forward to block Fu Guang.

Tingzhu downstairs showed no change, but the Luwu's sharp tiger eyes narrowed, a white fang flashed at the corner of its mouth, and the white whiskers there twitched.

"Shu Tong."

Fu Guang stepped forward out of Shu Tong's protective circle, casually waving at the Luwu; the big tiger stared, then halted its steps, forelegs splayed forward like a small mountain crouching at the stairway entrance.

A huge one, it completely blocked the stairway entrance, leaving no gap.

Who are you trying to scare?

"What are you doing?" Fu Guang leaned on the second-floor railing with one hand, calmly looking down at Tingzhu in the living room.

Tingzhu said nothing; his fingertip twitched for a moment, a cold, gorgeous woman stood tall on the high floor, looking down at him from head to toe, her golden lashes slightly drooping, her sapphire earrings even more captivating than her eyes.

Wearing a gold strapless long dress, her exposed neck was fair, even revealing blue veins.

She lacked a necklace worthy of her.

The tall man thought inappropriately.

"If you're going to the Execution Office, I think you need a strong bodyguard." Tingzhu glanced at the A-rank Sentinels behind Fu Guang and volunteered.

"As the current Chief Sentinel of the Alliance Academy, I believe I would be your best choice."

"Milady." Shu Tong's voice came through the mental channel to Fu Guang: "If you're going to the Execution Office, Lord Tingzhu is indeed a very good choice."

"The first academy rule: non-Execution Team personnel may not enter the Execution Office."

"The second academy rule: except for the Chief Sentinel."

"Why is that? The Chief Sentinel's exception is so huge?"

"There is a corridor before and after entering the Execution Office where all law-breaking Sentinels of the Alliance Academy are detained, and these Sentinels also have a certain activity area." Shu Tong replied, her voice a bit tense.

One side, the Execution Team doesn't mind, trampling the dignity of all law-breaking Sentinels underfoot, displaying them like monkeys; on the other side, it also serves as a warning to those who come to join the Execution Team.

Don't knowingly commit offenses; moreover, this is also one way to select Execution Team members, like the Alliance Academy's Wan Li Chang Lang, but even stricter than the academy.

Only by passing this prisoner checkpoint can one meet a condition for joining the Execution Team; each member is selected through thousands of trials, and the team also has a strict evaluation system.

Regarding the Chief Sentinel's privileges, Tingzhu didn't directly answer Fu Guang's words, but instead said, "Every generation of Alliance Academy Chief Sentinel joins the Military Headquarters upon graduation, at minimum as a Captain."

Fu Guang's brow twitched, and she said directly, "Then let's go."

Let the Sentinels handle the fighting; it saves her a lot of effort—she just needs to restrain them, and if she really can't, stepping in is not out of the question.

Anyway, a knife placed in her hand shouldn't go unused.

Anyway, don't waste the knife that's been put in your hand.
