Stood in the middle of the tall buildings and skyscrapers was a Restaurant meant for the Elites.

The Restaurant looked elegant and neat making the by passers and pedestrians glance several times. On the highest floor of the Restaurant there were two people seated, speaking? nah, quietly eating without talking.

One of them was a girl while the other one was a Man. The girl then glanced at the man again and sighed helplessly. She then initiated the talk.

"Ah Lie, how are you doing?" Mu XiaoAi asked.

"..." no response.

"How is your health?" Mu XiaoAi asked again after seeing that Pei WangLie didn't answer her.

"..." Still no response.

Mu XiaoAi sighed deeply feeling guilty. She kept asking about different things so that Pei WangLie would atleast response.

While Mu XiaoAi was asking about different things Pei Wang Lie looked at the girl in front of him

. She had snow white skin, big black eyes which were looking at him with guilt, a thin small nose and cute pink lips, she still was pretty and cute as she was before. He then looked back at the Mu XiaoAi's eyes who was trying hard to initiate a conversation with him and smiled inwardly but his face still remained cold.

Mu XiaoAi felt helpless once again, with no other choice left she asked,"What should I do for you?"

She then saw his face easing and felt more guilty.

Pei WangLie was waiting for this question from the start and now that she asked He'll ask her a favor.

"Let's go." He said as he stood up. For others when they hear him they might think his words was not interested but if they looked closely they could see his gentle eyes which would be enough to shut them up.

They were now inside Pei WangLie's Rolls Royce, driving somewhere Mu XiaoAi was not familiar with but she didn't ask as she knew nothing bad would happen.

The scenery was really beautiful with green trees flowers of different colors, birds and animals. While Mu XiaoAi was appreciating the scenery, Pei WangLie spoke,

"Accompany me." He spoke gently.

"Okay." Mu XiaoAi replied as she inwardly sighed in relief. Atleast he's speaking now!

Pei WangLie, satisfied with the reply smiled faintly.

The whole ride was quiet. No one spoke but the silent wasn't awkward. Pei WangLie naturally didn't speak much since he liked to keep his sentences short, But Mu XiaoAi was a cheerful and smart girl it was really easy for her to make friends and she had a lot.

while Pei WangLie was a reserved man with only 1 friend: Mu XiaoAi.

They were friends from childhood and knew each other very well.

Everyone liked XiaoAi as she was really friendly to everyone and wanted to be friends with her as she took care of her them and helped them as much as she can but Pei WangLie was a cold and distant person which made the other kids not approach him but they still admired him as he was good in studies, sports and almost everything.

Still XiaoAi approached him and followed him everywhere resulting for the both of them to become good friends.

Pei WangLie and Mu XiaoAi spent the day together in bliss, luckily Pei WangLie hadn't done anything mischievous.

It was dinner time, Pei WangLie took Mu XiaoAi to his villa.

At the long dining table sat two people, Pei WangLie and Mu XiaoAi. The atmosphere was pleasant. As one spoke,

"How is America?", asked Pei WangLie. It had been 4 years since he saw Mu XiaoAi since she went abroad, he missed her a lot but kept himself from meeting him as she must've been busy.

"America...is a fun country, the people there are really open minded so it was really easy to make more friends and meet new people." Mu XiaoAi replied,she smiled as she thought about her friends and classmates.

Pei WangLie nodded in satisfaction. It's good that this girl had made new friends but he still needs to check if any of them have bad intentions or not.

"How is your company?", Mu XiaoAi asked. She was worried for Pei WangLie since he took over the Pei family's business when he was just 16! His father the former head had passed away making Pei WangLie his only son, the head now. She felt guilty for not being able to stay by his side as a true friend and comfort him.

"It's doing well. Why did you come to China without informing anyone?", asked Pei WangLie. He was quite worried when he heard her saying that she was in China, he was in a meeting when she called and rushed to meet her.

"There's a tournament going to take place here in China so I came to meet the Executives and Workers." Mu XiaoAi replied. Thinking about the tournament she sighed again.

The tournament was going to be one of the biggest events for the whole country or maybe even the world. It was to let students participate in different categories and win rewards, name and fame for their schools.

The tournament was going to take place a bit earlier than what the Schools had discussed, since the number of schools with bright students had increased with a sharp 16.05%, the tournament will be earlier so that the vacation of the students won't be disturbed.

A total of 176 schools will be participating, with different categories like Sports, taekwondo, Judo, Chess, Quizz, Arts & drama, Designing, etc. Different schools will be competing with each other till the final round where they'll play The Treasure Hunt. The school who wins the final round will be presented with prestige and fame.

The venue will keep changing according to the rounds. Different Cities, different countries as it is an international tournament.

For the past 36 years only one school has been winning continuously. The school is none other than the one Mu XiaoAi is attending. R.I academy( Royal Imperial academy)

As the President of the SUC(Student Union Council) its her duty to handle the important things related to the school.

The principal had called her and the other members of the SUC to inform about this problem. This was quite troubling for them as it was during their vacation and all of them were scattered around the world.

Now, she does not even have time to call them, even if she had called there was a very low chance for the other person to pick up since their schedules were now packed and everyone's extremely busy dealing with the new changes.

Thinking about this, she sighed for the third time.

Pei WangLie was looking at Mu XiaoAi for the whole time with amusement. He saw her changing her emotions every second from tiredness, anger, helplessness and others.. he smiled faintly. XiaoAi had really grown up in these 4 years and now she was able to handle important tasks and events.

*R.I Academy(Royal Imperial Academy) is an academy founded by Mu Feng(The 213th head of the Mu family) in 1862. With the investment from the members of the Mu family, The academy has been growing rapidly since then and finally achieved the title of the Best school title in 1893. The school is known for it's bright students and its extremely clean history that is... no bullying incidents have ever been reported! or more like no one has ever been bullied since date! And if anyone ever gets enrolled in the academy, there's a very high chance that he/she will become quite big in the future. So won't everyone want their kids to attend this school? this is one of the reasons why the competition is extremely hard. Almost 150 thousand people applying every year! But only a few of them gets selected. The highest number of students ever got enrolled was only 26! this is why the chances of getting enrolled is really hard, unless the person is a genius with a good heart.
