"Hiss..."
Qian Xunji drew a sharp, deep breath.
He felt as though this unfilial son would make his lungs burst with anger. He truly wanted to give him a vicious slap right then and there.
Just then, Qian Renxue, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, stepped forward too.
"Dad."
"Since my big brother wants to read in the Book Repository, just let him."
"He only fishes for three days and dries his nets for two when it comes to cultivating anyway. You might as well let him find something to do. Maybe this could count as a kind of cultivation too."

His blood surged, and waves of dizziness clouded his vision.
