Gao Wancheng didn't say anything, but handed him the incense in his hand.
Gao Ren inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner, and then knelt down beside the prayer mat next to Gao Wancheng.
"Ren'er, what do you think your godfather should do about the Qin family's affairs?"
He didn't even open his eyes, yet he looked truly devout.
