Chapter 1257
"Wisdom, you''vee back to yourself, haven''t you?"
Rita''s eyes were filled with delight.
Wisdom could only feel that his eyes were burning. Now he couldn''t care about anything else. He
also didn''t know what had happened to him just now, but the spicy sensation was too strong.
"Where is daddy?"
He couldn''t open his eyes yet, but he quickly thought of this.
Rita said hurriedly, "Daddy is still repenting. It''s like he is possessed. Wisdom, you''re enthralled just
now, too. This ancestral temple is strange. Quick, save daddy."
"Just use the method you used to deal with me just now on daddy."
Wisdom could not open his eyes at all right now.
Although Rita''s methods were a little more on the extreme side, they worked marvelously.
Rita said with a bitter smile, "I don''t dare to do so. That''s daddy."
She could try something on Wisdom, but she dared not be so rude to Nathaniel.
Wisdom said hurriedly, "I have to do it now. If we dy any longer, I am afraid that something else
will happen. Hurry up!"
"Oh, alright."
Rita stopped hesitating and sprayed Nathaniel''s face with the chili water.
"Psst..."
Nathaniel paused abruptly. Then he grunted because of the burning sensation. He heard Rita''s
timid voice saying, "Daddy, don''t me me for this. I did this to save you. I am not a doctor either,
so this is what I can do. Daddy, are you conscious now?"
Nathaniel''s heart skipped a beat.
He remembered his reaction just now so he couldn''t help frowning. The murderous look on his face
scared Rita into hiding behind Wisdom with a shriek.
"Brother Wisdom, will daddy beat me?"
"No, I won''t do so!"
Nathaniel was the one who replied.
"Rita, ask the men outside to get some water in a basin here."
"Oh, alright."
When Rita saw that Nathaniel was back to normal, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She had nned to go there in person, but this ce was so strange that she thought it was better
to stay with her father, just in case.
"Hey, you! Go get a basin of water inside. Hurry up."
Rita looked like a properdy when she was serious in giving amand.
The bodyguard did as he was told swiftly.
Nathaniel and Wisdom quickly cleaned themselves before leaving the ancestral temple and walked
outside.
Wisdom took out an ointment and rubbed it on Nathaniel and himself. Then only the burning
sensation faded a little.
Nathaniel looked at the ancestral temple in front of him thoughtfully.
He knew what he had done just now, but it was like being stuck in a nightmare. He could only watch
himself venting, but he could do nothing at all.
He knew that these were probably the deepest guilts and thoughts he had.
He med himself for it.
He med himself for neglecting the change in Nick. He med himself for taking up all the
responsibilities since he was the eldest son. He honestly thought that Nick could live the peaceful
life he wanted as long as he did so. However, it was only wishful thinking.
He did not know if Nick med him, nor did he have a chance to know it now. However, it had
be the demon that gued him. It was a hurdle that he could never get over in his life.
A pair of soft little hands reached out and held Nathaniel''s big hand.
Nathaniel was slightly shocked as he looked downward at Wisdom''s small figure.
He looked in the direction of the ancestral temple and said with a frown, "Daddy, this temple is too
strange. Are we still staying here?"
"We have to find the answers here, so we can''t leave. Wisdom, thank you for your help just now."
Nathaniel did not forget what Wisdom said after thetter lost his mind just now. Was that the truest
thought Wisdom had been concealing?
No matter how nice he and Mango treated him, they were still no match to his biological parents,
right?
He actually hated them secretly, didn''t he?
Nathaniel was very confused and he was at a loss for words. He could only pretend that he didn''t
know what had happened just now. Perhaps this would give both of them the respite they needed.
The situation wouldn''t be too awkward.
However, Wisdom couldn''t understand Nathaniel''s painstaking efforts. He whispered, "I felt like I
was stuck in a nightmare just now. I knew those words would hurt you, but I still said it regardless.
Daddy, I don''t know if that''s my true thoughts. I don''t usually think so, but just now..."
"It''s okay, you don''t have to exin. I understand. Wisdom, I don''t me you. I''m telling the truth."
Nathaniel felt sad for Wisdom.
When he found out that Wisdom was the only son of Nick five years ago, he had passed down
everything in the Ye family to thetter.
However, Wisdom shook his head and said, "I love you, daddy. I love mommy too, but what I said
just now seems to be true. So I don''t know what to say now and how to face it. We should stop
thinking about it and wait for time to show us the truth. Maybe I will be calm and tolerant in the
future."
He looked at Nathaniel with a smile. The smile was simr to Nick''s.
Nathaniel''s heart was hurting slightly.
He was a little remorseful now.
Well, he shouldn''t have brought Wisdom here.
If they didn''t show up, the rtionship between them would still be the same as before. There
wouldn''t be any discord. However, after the incident just now, no one could pretend that it hadn''t
happened. This was because although it was only a nightmare during the hallucination, it was the
most real thought in their hearts.
Wisdom had said that he should have a happy family. He said that no matter how nice they were to
him, he was still dependent on others for money.
He was dependent on others for money and education.
How could the child feel like this?
He and Mango had loved Wisdom no less than their own child. Why did Wisdom feel like he was
relying on someone else for money?
At this moment, Nathaniel was d that Mango was not here.
If Mango had heard about this, how heartbroken would she be?
Wisdom also remembered what he said just now. Although he was confused, he knew that was the
deepest secret in his heart.
So he whispered, "Daddy, after everything here is over, I would like to go abroad."
Nathaniel was dumbfounded for a while.
He knew that Wisdom intended to leave.
He would leave the Ye family and leave Nathaniel.

Nathaniel had no idea if he would return in the future.
There was a dull ache in his heart.
Nine years ago, he sent Nick away. Would he have to send Wisdom away again now?
"I won''t allow it."
Nathaniel sounded very determined.
"I sent your father away nine years ago. From now on, I''ve lost my brother. I don''t want to send you
off again because then I would lose a son. I know that you may still have resentment right now.
There is a hurdle that you can''t ovee. It doesn''t matter because I have all the time in the world
to wait for you. Even if you hate or resent me, I will stay by your side. Wisdom, this responsibility to
take care of the Ye family is yours."
"No, dad, I don''t want it. I''m not ambitious enough to want to be the head of a family. I just want to
study medicine."
Wisdom stopped Nathaniel from saying any other words. He said in a low voice, "There was
hallucinogen in the incense, which would cause hallucinations when the doors and windows were
closed. When we lit it the second time, the doors and windows were open. Therefore, there was a
chemical reaction between the incense and the damp air outside which triggered a reaction. This
would magnify the thing we care about the most and even depress us further. If Rita hadn''t poured
the chili water on us and waken us up, I''m afraid we would have fought each other and even killed
ourselves."
Nathaniel''s brows furrowed tightly when he heard Wisdom''s words.
"Thest time I came here, there were no such tricks in the temple."
"This shouldn''t be some tricks. Instead, someone had deliberately ced it here in order to protect
the ancestral temple and prevent outsiders from entering."
Nathaniel was slightly taken aback by his words as if something suddenly came to his mind.
When Nathaniel and Mango were here, this ce was dpidated. Later on, he bought this ce
and hired workers to construct and repair the ancestral temple. Henry was the one overseeing the
entire project.
Henry was from Longford County, so it was understandable that he knew some tricks. Furthermore,
it was Henry who came backter to look for the Hikasa Manual. So was it Henry who had ced
the incense here?
While Nathaniel was baffled, Wisdom let go of his hand and walked into the ancestral temple.
For fear of hallucinating again, he rubbed a lot of medication ointment on himself in order to stay
conscious.
"Wisdom..."
"Hey... Wisdom."
Nathaniel and Rita spoke at the same time, but Wisdom stopped them.
"I''m fine. Please don''t talk to me now."
Then Wisdom quickly patrolled the ancestral temple.
Nathaniel''s gazed following him constantly, for fear that he would get himself into danger.
He still didn''t know what happened to Mango, but she had gone missing in the ancestral temple.
Therefore, he would definitely enter the hallter.
Wisdom looked inside the temple for a long time before he walked out after three rounds.
He looked at Nathaniel and whispered, "My master was the one who did this. The incense and the
hallucinatory formation here were set up by my master."
"What?"
Nathaniel furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
He felt that Henry had an ulterior motive, but he didn''t expect Bettany was the culprit.
Wisdom handed a little item that he picked up from the ground to Nathaniel and whispered, "My
master has a habit. He will leave a mark when he does something. You can''t see this mark, but I
can see it because it will appear after the incense burns and mixes with the air. This is the habit of
people of Longford County."
Nathaniel was silent. His thoughts were unknown to everyone else.
Rita felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward at this moment. She said hastily, "Daddy, where
do we stayter? I''m a little hungry."
Nathaniel froze momentarily before he said with a smile, "Let''s go to the hotel first."
As he spoke, he was about to take out his phone to book a hotel but Wisdom stopped him.
"I saw several houses in the herbal ntation just now. They have cleaners who cleaned the
houses daily too. Why don''t we stay there?"
Nathaniel looked at Wisdom and whispered, "There are too many hidden dangers here. I can''t let
you put yourselves in danger."
"Dad, we have been encountering dangerous situations since we set foot on thisnd. Many people
outside have their eyes on us. Although you didn''t say anything to me, I know that you came here
not just for travel. Master always talked about Longford County with tears in her eyes. I think she
has some grievances as well. We have our bodyguards with us here, and it''s our territory so
outsiders can''t enter. But if we go to a hotel, it is impossible to prevent any untoward incident since
there are so many people there."
Nathaniel was taken aback by Wisdom''s words.
Thetter was so thoughtful that Nathaniel was a little surprised.
Wisdom had always been a quiet person. He was always reading books, so Nathaniel and Mango
were afraid that he would be a bookworm. However, now that they saw Wisdom''s ability to
handle matters and speak well, Nathaniel felt that he and Mango were both mistaken about it.
Wisdom was a promising young man with a bright future.
