Lin Jin observed his surroundings. The main hall was lined with intricate decorations like sophisticated calligraphy and paintings on the walls. There was a guzheng on one side, a chess game on the table, and a shelf filled with books and scrolls.

There was incense burning in a copper burner and the fragrance that it emitted calmed the mind.
