He pouted in dissatisfaction, "Situ Yuan is not even older than me. He is so much younger than me, what does he know?"
Tu Jiaojiao certainly knew why Xie Xiu was looking for Situ Yuan, but she couldn't tell Xie Tang about it because Xie Tang was still too young.
Xie Ying looked at his sour expression and felt that she couldn't let him have such wild thoughts, so she deliberately said in her heart: "Daddy must be worried that brother would be bullied in the palace, so he secretly asked Situ Yuan to look after brother."
Sure enough, when Xie Tang heard this, he became visibly happy.
Tu Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide in surprise: I didn’t know I could coax my son this way?
No, is her son so easy to coax?
On the other side, in Xie Xiu’s study, two people, one big and one small, looked at each other, with a sense of tit-for-tat.
Xie Xiu didn't say anything, and Situ Yuan didn't ask either. The two of them just looked at each other and started to compete with each other without any prior agreement.
After looking at him like this for a while, Situ Yuan finally spoke first: "Uncle Xie, if you have anything to say, just say it."
It’s not that he can’t hold on, he just doesn’t want to waste any more time.
Xie Xiu's eyes were deep, but he didn't speak. Instead, he wrote directly on the paper and handed it to Situ Yuan.
Situ Yuan took it and looked at it, then his expression changed.
He became visibly nervous: Xie Ying actually knew about mind reading. With that girl's temper, she would definitely not let him go!
Xie Xiu had been observing his reaction the entire time. Seeing him suddenly tense, he couldn't help but feel a pang of alarm: This kid, with his extraordinary background, was so nervous about something like this? What was he so nervous about? Was he worried his identity would be exposed?
Thinking of this, Xie Xiu found it amusing again: He was still a child, otherwise why would he need to worry about him exposing him? Exposing Situ Yuan's identity would not benefit him in any way, so why would he do such a stupid thing?
But he didn't know that this was not what Situ Yuan was worried about at all!
Situ Yuan knew that Xie Xiu was a smart man and would never reveal his identity.
So he was only worried about Xie Ying's revenge after she became angry and humiliated.
As for the other things Xie Xiu wrote on the paper...
Situ Yuan took out a small notebook and charcoal pencil from his bag and started writing.
After writing it, he handed it to Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu's attention was attracted by the charcoal pencil in his hand as soon as he took it out to write.
When he saw the handwriting on the paper, he was secretly shocked, and then he read it carefully.
Xie Xiu had previously written three sentences on paper:
I know you can hear Yingying's thoughts. Can you tell others about this?
I will keep your extraordinary origins a secret.
Can you make coke, glass, cement and telescopes?
Situ Yuan responded one by one:
Never, not even my parents know.
I believe you.
Can do it.
His reply was very concise and to the point, but it shocked Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu carefully observed the beautiful child in front of him, somewhat curious about how much he knew. In the end, he sighed, "Having you is a blessing for Daxia."
Situ Yuan smiled slightly and accepted the compliment without any modesty: "Indeed."
Xie Xiu: “…”
This guy is really hard to like!
He pointed at the coke, glass, cement, and telescope on the paper and whispered, "Can you explain it to me in detail?"
Situ Yuan said calmly, "Coking coal is just a type of coal that can be refined into coke, which is used to make iron and steel. However, the production of coking coal is not large. It is difficult to say how much coking coal this coal mine can produce."
Xie Xiu couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this. He was a little puzzled: "But I heard Yingying say that coal can be turned into coke..."
Situ Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "She was mistaken. Although she is quite capable, she is not good at this. Ordinary coal can indeed be used to refine things, but it cannot be turned into coking coal."
I've seen some recently unearthed coal, and it's mostly lignite, which can be distilled at low temperatures to produce coal tar, coal gas, and wax."
