Thinking this, An Yimo heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She turned around and asked Long Ziyu, "How much longer before we reach the Long family?"

"The Long family's residence is rather remote. It's to prevent bad people from coming in, so it won't be that fast." Long Ziyu turned his head, looked at An Yimo, and said: "If you're tired, just lie down and rest for a while, we'll arrive soon."

He didn't know if it was an illusion on An Yimo's part, but he had a nagging feeling that the look in his eyes today wasn't as sharp as usual, but instead carried a hint of faint gentleness.

An Yimo did not speak, she lowered the chair in front of him a little and leaned against the chair, turned her head, and looked out the window at the scenery.

Outside the window, there were more and more pillars and more shadows of trees.

Although Long Ziyu had been walking on the main road of Yangguan, that road had become smaller and smaller, more remote and more and more pedestrians.

But for some reason, An Yimo didn't feel worried at all. After walking for a few more minutes, she saw that there was only one road left, and this road seemed to be a one-way street. An Yimo couldn't hold back her drowsy eyelids any longer, and her eyes darkened as she fell asleep.

"Yi Mo, Yi Mo, little sister …"

After falling asleep for a while, he heard someone calling for her. It was Long Ziyu.

She thought that the Long family had arrived, and quickly opened her eyes, only to see that Long Ziyu had stopped beside a tree by the side of the road and was smiling at him.

An Yimo became a little more clear-headed and turned to look at Long Ziyu. She asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Is your car broken? "

In this kind of situation, Long Ziyu should be in a hurry to bring her back, why would he bring her to the side of the road to admire the scenery?

"How is this possible?" Long Ziyu glanced at An Yimo, and said indifferently: "I just wanted to bring you here to see something, that's all."

"What is it?" An Yimo was a little puzzled. She turned around and looked at her surroundings, only to realize that the two were halfway up a mountain, surrounded by a lush forest, it could only be considered fresh air, with luxuriant leaves, there was nothing to admire, right?

"It's something that every member of the Long Family needs to see." Long Ziyu turned his head and looked at An Yimo with a serious expression.

An Yimo frowned and looked at Long Ziyu with a puzzled expression. She noticed that Long Ziyu was extremely serious and did not seem like she was joking, so she nodded and said: "Alright, what do you want me to look at?"

Long Ziyu looked at An Yimo mysteriously and suddenly reached out his hand, pulling An Yimo's hand tightly into his palm and pulling her along as he walked forward, "Follow me, and you will know."

His strength was not very strong, and he was lacking enough to make the defenseless An Yimo follow him and run.

An Yimo first let out a light cry, then raised his head and looked over. Long Ziyu turned his head and said to her: "We'll be there soon, right ahead."

An Yimo was helpless and could only follow him.

After walking a short distance, An Yimo was about to ask a question. However, Long Ziyu suddenly stopped.

An Yimo was in a hurry to chase after him, so he stopped in surprise as the tip of her nose almost bumped into's back.

"Why didn't you say anything?" An Yimo frowned, and muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Yi Mo, look!"

Long Ziyu did not reply him. Instead, he extended his hand and pointed at the top of a tree.

An Yimo looked towards the direction he was pointing in and saw a dense, dense tree overhead. It was impossible to tell what kind of tree it was, only feeling that its branches and leaves had covered up the early autumn heat and mottled sunlight.

An Yimo looked at Long Ziyu with a puzzled expression. She saw Long Ziyu looking at her mysteriously and said: "Lift your head, and look again."

An Yimo frowned somewhat impatiently, but she was still patient as she raised her head and looked over.

On closer look, there seemed to be a black shadow hidden among the lush leaves on the top of the head. There were also some unknown black dots flying around, seeming to be busy with something green.

An Yimo frowned and turned to look at Long Ziyu with a puzzled expression. "What's that?"

"Don't you recognize it?" The corner of Long Ziyu's mouth slightly raised, as if carrying a faint smile.

An Yimo had never seen him with such an expression before, and every time he spoke to him, he would always have a straight face with an incredibly cold expression. This rare smile was like a flower that bloomed briefly, and adding on his handsome face, it was simply too beautiful to describe, causing An Yimo to be immersed in it!

He quickly regained his senses and shook his head, feeling that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly turned around and raised his head to look at the black shadow above him.

"Th-that …" It seems to be a beehive. " An Yimo looked at it suspiciously, and covered it up to say a few words, wanting to guess what it was, but decided to do it half-heartedly.

"Yes, it really is a beehive." Who would have thought that An Yimo's casual guess was actually correct.

"Why did you bring me to see Honeycomb?" An Yimo looked at Long Ziyu in puzzlement.

Long Ziyu slowly smiled, his expression was extremely assured as he stared at An Yimo for a long time. Then, he smiled lightly, and said: "Didn't I tell you already? This is a process that every member of the Long Family must go through! "

An Yimo frowned even more as she spoke seriously, "Do you know that a bee's nest of honey only has one mother bee? As for the other little honey, have they served the queen bee their entire life?"

"Well, so?" An Yimo asked puzzledly. He couldn't possibly think that An Yimo didn't know about this sort of thing, so he just wanted to pull her to see something new, right?

"Do you know? In the Long family, the Patriarch is that mother bee, who enjoys the services and contributions of everyone. As for the others, they are the busy picking honey. " He turned his head, and looked An Yimo in the eye with a serious gaze: "If you want to return to the Long family household, it is very likely that you will become that Queen Bee. Could it be that you really aren't moved at all?"

An Yimo was startled at first, but then she laughed involuntarily. "So, the reason you spent so much effort to drag me here, was because you wanted to tell me this?"

Long Ziyu frowned: "This is not funny at all."

An Yimo nodded, and said: "It indeed isn't easy to laugh, but … Long Ziyu, I don't want to be that queen bee at all, because before I become that bee, I don't know how much I will have to sacrifice and how much I will lose. "I don't think it's that great of a joy to be a mother bee. If it was me, I would rather be a free and easy one, going wherever I want to go, picking as much pollen as I can, and drinking as much honey as I want!"

Since An Yimo had said this, it was obvious that Long Ziyu could not agree with him. He frowned, and looked at An Yimo with a puzzled expression. "He really doesn't have any spirit at all."

An Yimo did not mind and laughed, and said: "Thank you for kind intentions in bringing me here, I know that you want to bring me here, to let me have the heart to improve, to have the heart to fight, I don't know if this was your sincere or if you just followed Long Zhengtian's orders, in short, no matter what, I am grateful, and am extremely grateful to you. "However, everyone has their own aspirations. What you wish to do may not be what I wish to do. What you wish to do may not be what I wish to do, so …"

"So you don't want to say anything to me at all, do you?" Long Ziyu smiled faintly with a hint of bitterness in the corner of his lips.

An Yimo nodded her head: "If you still want to bring me back to the Long family's residence for dinner, then let's quickly go. If you don't want to, I'll just go back myself."

Long Ziyu shook his head and sighed, then said: "You think too much of me, and lack grace. The reason why I called you here was to advise you, even if you were unwilling, it doesn't matter, why would I leave you here all alone?"

An Yimo said: "Then … Shall we go? "

"Please!" Long Ziyu nodded and gestured to An Yimo to sit. An Yimo laughed and followed him towards the direction where the car was parked.

After getting on the car, Long Ziyu did not say anything else, but this time, he sped up.

Seeing that he was quiet, An Yimo also remained silent. Sitting on the carriage, this time she was not sleepy and allowed Long Ziyu to carry her towards the Long family's residence.

After driving for around five to six minutes, a few indistinct buildings appeared in front of him. The distance between each building was relatively far, and looking at this scene, An Yimo wasn't able to tell whether these houses belonged to the Long family or the families.

But then he thought, wasn't the Long family living in such a secluded place because they didn't want to be neighbours with them? How can you live with people?

Looking at the surroundings, they were basically halfway up the mountain. The Long family didn't want people to find out they were living here, right? Otherwise, why would they be blindfolded the last time they 'asked' her to 'borrow her hair?

"The Long family is right in front of us." Long Ziyu suddenly spoke out, interrupting An Yimo's train of thought: "The closest to the middle building is where father and his children live, and the closer they are to the middle area, the more distinguished the people living in the Long family are. The further away they are from the middle area, the lower their status is, and the people living in the outermost two buildings are servants. However, the people of the Long family mainly focus on business, so they rarely come back to live outside. They only come back during major festivals or family meetings, and only father stays the most, and of course, I do. "

"Oh."

An Yimo nodded her head, her gaze was attracted by the few buildings that were gradually appearing.

This building was a bit like the ancient European building of the twenties and thirties. Looking at its appearance, it was quite majestic and had the style of the Long family.

But from the looks of it, the construction of the Long family should have many years of history. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Long family to be such a mysterious existence.

Just as he was thinking, Long Ziyu drove down, and an incomparably huge manor appeared in front of him. Of course, the first thing that entered his eyes was a domineering black iron door that flashed in front of the manor.
