"Fifth Brother, you are right. Those people are arrogant and they are not easy to meet up with. It is totally reasonable that they didn't want to meet you. Don't be upset."
Shao Yunduan smiled. "Yeah…
'Anyway, this is your assumption.'
Shao Liulang asked again. "Fifth Brother, but you must have bought some books home, right? Can I read them?"
Shao Yunduan did not turn him down. He took out the books but did not show him the excellent articles. These were not useful for Shao Liulang.
Shao Liulang leafed through the stuff and looked quite jealous. "Fifth Brother, can I borrow them and read?"
Shao Yunduan said, "They are not useful for you right now. You can have them when you become a Cultivated Talent."
He needed these books and decided to study them wholeheartedly these days. He was not going to let Shao Liulang borrow them away.
He would not mind helping Shao Liulang when he was not affected. But he was not going to sacrifice himself for him.
Shao Liulang was not worth it.
Also, he needed to be guarded against this cousin of his. He was always so jealous of him. Since he got the books, Shao Yunduan would not loan them out to Shao Liulang.
He would only allow him to make a copy.
For some reason, Shao Liulang started to believe that Shao Yunduan had more opportunities to pass the examination. That made him both jealous and anxious, and he even started to panic.
Shao Yunduan was always far more excellent than him, though they started to study together.
Shao Yunduan kept going upwards, whilst he remained still. What would others think of him under such circumstances?
He would turn into a laughing stock!
"Fifth Brother, I am just borrowing them. You are too stingy to lend them to me? Or are you trying to stop me from making it to the next level? I am not affecting you. We will bring honor to our family together!"
Eldest Uncle heard that and added involuntarily. "Yunduan, you can just lend them out to your cousin. If both of you make it, we will be so honored!"
Shao Yunduan did not respond to his father. In his father's opinion, his brothers were all very nice people without any fault.
"That is okay." Shao Yunduan said calmly, "You can come and copy them. I need to use those books, and so, you can't take them away. But you can copy them."
Shao Liulang looked embarrassed. "But I am going to take the examination soon, what time do I have for copying? Fifth Brother, you are giving me a hard time!"
Qiao Xuan could not stand it any more. Who on earth was giving others a hard time here?
"Don't worry, these books are not very practical for you right now. They are useful for him as the Cultivated Talent. You can copy them when you become a Cultivated Talent. I bought them with great difficulty, not just with money. These are very precious for my husband right now, and it is not very suitable to loan them to you right now, ok?"
"You are our cousin, and we allow you to make copies, otherwise we would not even show them to anyone else!"
Ms. Fang looked annoyed. "Liulang, it is your fault. They are not useful for you, what are you borrowing them for? Are you trying to slow down Yunduan?"
Shao Liulang got annoyed.. "How can you say that, Eldest Aunt?!"
