Shitou received an invitation from a foreign university, hoping that after graduation Shitou could co abroad to pursue doctoral studies.
Even stating that Shitou could go anyti, the First University abroad also made an exception to admit Shitou.
Shitou also planned to visit the country and pursue a doctoral degree overseas, planning to do so in the next year or the year after.
"Next year you’ll be only twelve, wouldn’t that be too young?" Xia Xiao was sowhat uneasy about Shitou studying abroad alone, especially since she couldn’t accompany him.
Next year only twelve, even if it’s the year after, that’s only thirteen. Sotis Xia Xiao felt like Shitou was defying the natural order of things and was very worried.
Shitou said, "I’m not young at all, and I’ll take care of myself. Besides, I can have a bodyguard to protect ."
"But a twelve-year-old master’s student, and a polymath at that, Shitou, aren’t you afraid that once overseas you’ll be dissected for study?" Xia Xiao voiced her concerns.
Shitou was silent for a mont before saying, "I want to see where my limits lie, and besides, existence is reasonable."
Well, Xia Xiao couldn’t say more; she always respected Shitou’s decisions.
Moreover, Xia Xiao saw Shitou’s diligence. Although he played too, he played less. He wasn’t like other children who ran around wildly, but he would touch upon and experience everything. It was just his nature that made Shitou seem like an old scholar.
But in the end, Shitou wasn’t a real child, and with this thought, Xia Xiao beca more at ease.
Xia Xiao had finished transcribing Zheng Xianghong’s dical book. With the help of Li Min, she further refined the ancient dical text, allowing it to be published by Xia Kang’s side.
Initially, the publication of Zheng Xianghong’s dical book did not cause much of a sensation, but gradually the reputation grew better, and many sought the book.
Even pirated copies appeared.
Regardless, the publication of Zheng Xianghong’s dical book, although Zheng Xianghong had passed away, fulfilled his wish.
On Zheng Xianghong’s death anniversary, Xia Xiao took the dical book to his grave to burn, thinking that if Zheng Xianghong’s spirit in heaven saw his work, he would be very happy.
Once the transcribing of the dical book was completed, Xia Xiao felt extrely idle. In the research lab, the study of the energy stone had co to a conclusion for the ti being, and there were no new findings.
And with Shitou around, Xia Xiao felt there was little use for her.
When people have nothing to do, they tend to beco lazy, and Xia Xiao felt that was happening to her. She even beca too lazy to walk around.
Ning Hui couldn’t stand Xia Xiao’s laziness and dragged her to the Care for Children Charity Foundation. Although Xia Xiao was the nominal president, Ning Hui managed most of it.
Nowadays, the Gao family’s montum was getting stronger. After the Gong Family collapsed, the Wen Family also restrained themselves, and other families did not make any moves either openly or covertly.

Over the past few years, the two elders had been communicating through QQ, from initially hiding things to a tacit understanding at the end, without imdiately exposing or revealing anything, but both accepting it.
With the grandparents’ relationship improving, Si Hexuan also retired honorably from his position. Moreover, inspired by Shitou, Si Hexuan felt as if he were useless compared to him. If he didn’t work harder, not to speak of Shitou, even Beibei could leave him behind.
Feiyi was transferred to M country as a diplomat, and Xiao Shu with Ye Jia also went to M country. Though on the surface, the positions were the sa, the diplomat from a major country to a small country, the transfer was an informal promotion.
And at the age of thirteen, Shitou graduated with master’s degrees in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, nuclear science and technology, and computer science.
The nation was shocked, yet also very proud.
This also attracted widespread international attention, and many renowned universities from around the world sent invitations to Shitou. Ultimately, Shitou chose the First University in M country.
And Shitou also let everyone know that his desire to beco a legend was not just talk.
Thus, at the age of thirteen, Shitou went abroad for his studies.
Because Feiyi, Ye Jia, and Xiao Shu were all in M country, Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao weren’t that worried about Shitou studying abroad.
"Grandpa, Grandma, rember to miss , and Dad and Mom, don’t forget about either," Shitou waved goodbye to his family before departing, embarking on a new Chapter of his life.
Xia Xiao couldn’t help her eyes from reddening, feeling a thick sense of reluctance, but she knew that the fledgling eagle must eventually spread its wings and fly from the nest.
With Shitou gone, Xia Xiao truly felt a bit lonely. After Gao Jiaxing beca a high-ranking officer, he was busier still, not to ntion he had many more etings to attend.
But this year was also Gao Jiaxing’s seventieth birthday. Gao Jiaxing was seventy now, and Xia Xiao was sixty-seven.
Not long after the birthday celebrations, Gao Jiaxing applied for retirent.

"Where would you like to start?" At the Gao family residence, Xia Xiao spread a large map before Gao Jiaxing, asking which route he wanted to take.
