The Retired Life of the Martial Alliance Leader

Lin Yi's Quiet Retirement. It is July, the height of summer. The sun beats down on the earth, waves of heat rolling through the air, as if the whole world were scorching hot.

The sky is vast and deep blue, without a single cloud. Only the blazing sun hangs overhead, mercilessly pouring down its heat. The trees along both sides of the street droop beneath the scorching sun, as if silently enduring the torment of the sweltering weather.

Lin Yi lounges lazily in a chair behind the counter, his eyes half closed as he watches the sparse stream of passersby outside the inn. From time to time, he waves a fan at himself with his right hand.
