Bai Erlang cheerfully led the two to look for books, waving the list to cool off from the heat as they entered the library. Once inside with just three people, he gleefully said, "Let them target us, but now they still have to lend us books, and we even managed to borrow all at once."
Manbao murmured at him, "You're part of the Hanlin Academy, how come you can't exert any influence?"
Bai Erlang replied, "I'm of low status, what can I do if no one listens to me?"
He pointed at Bai Shan, "He worked in the Hanlin Academy for a year, and still ended up with no support after leaving."
Bai Shan glanced at him and said to Manbao, "Quickly find the books and borrow them. Now they haven't reacted yet, but once they do, they'll find some excuse not to lend them to us."
Manbao said, "We have the prince's signed note."
