"How many incense sticks did you burn?" Yang Xiao suddenly thought of something. Nalan Shuo was the first to go to the courtyard of the Sleeping Gold Pavilion to look for the missing Ancestor and was also the first to light the Life Burning Incense, so he used the Life Incense for the longest time.
"Three sticks." Nalan Shuo paused, signaling Yang Xiao not to panic, "I burned two in a row while searching for the Ancestor, and one more when Xiang Fengchen died."
