Chapter 543: The Darkness in Tendo Kisara's Heart

Lingyun, lying in bed, opened his eyes and discovered that, at some unknown time, three small figures had appeared inside his quilt.

"You lot, why do you always keep running into my bed! And Tina, why are you joining in the fun here too?" Lingyun pulled back the quilt, looking somewhat helplessly at the three people hiding in his bedding.

"Mm, Big Brother, good morning!"

Tina opened her eyes, greeted Lingyun in a daze, then grabbed the quilt and pulled it back over herself.

"Xiaona, no need to say it, this must be your doing!" Lingyun said to Xiaona, sounding annoyed.

"Hee hee, this was Tina's own idea, you know. To thank Big Brother for giving her and her sisters a happy new life, even if it's just warming the bed, she can do it!" Xiaona said with a giggle.

"I'm the same way!" A flash of craftiness crossed Senju Kayo's eyes.

"What warming the bed or not? You little girls, how old are you even now?" Lingyun reached out and tapped Xiaona on the head.

"Does Big Brother mean that as long as we grow up, it will be fine?" Xiaona suddenly asked while hugging Lingyun's arm.

"What on earth is packed inside that little head of yours!" Lingyun pressed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Don't you know, Big Brother? In the hearts of all the sisters in the town, Big Brother is the most popular person!" Xiaona said to Lingyun.

"We once conducted a secret survey among the other sisters; the number of sisters who have a favorable impression of Big Brother reached nearly ninety percent, and eighty percent of the children hope that when they grow up in the future, they can become Big Brother's bride!" Senju Kayo said with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"What kind of survey are you lot doing?" The corners of Lingyun's mouth twitched.

"It wasn't that exaggerated at the time; we just did a slight survey on how popular Big Brother is among the children in Lingyun Town. I didn't expect this kind of situation to appear!" Xiaona said with an innocent face.

However, there was one thing Xiaona did not tell Lingyun. It was precisely because she conducted this survey that she learned she actually had so many "competitors" in Lingyun Town. If it were just Luo Yexi and the others, that would be one thing, but she was the first Cursed Child to come into contact with Lingyun; how could she be surpassed by them?

But considering she was fighting alone, Xiaona brought in Senju Kayo and Tina, and the three formed a small alliance to capture Lingyun's heart in the shortest time possible. That was the origin of the incident where the three of them would team up to crawl into Lingyun's bed every morning.

Lingyun Town, inside Lingyun's exclusive office.

"Lingyun, it seems you are still very popular among those children!" Busujima Saeko, who was brewing tea for Lingyun, said to him with a smile on her face.

"Popular, perhaps!" Lingyun shrugged.

"Hmm, the document I placed here seems to have been moved by someone, right?" Lingyun looked at his desk and suddenly frowned.

"Are you talking about the evidence regarding the Tendo family that Shima Miori collected?" Busujima Saeko asked.

"That's right."

"I remember Tendo Kisara came here once. She was very agitated when she saw that file. She originally wanted to take the data away directly, but I stopped her," Busujima Saeko said.

"When did she come?" Lingyun asked.

"Over an hour ago, I think. She seemed to be looking for you for something. When I stopped her from taking that file, she even wanted to attack me!" Busujima Saeko said. "She seems to have psychological issues. When facing matters concerning the Tendo family, she seems to become abnormally impulsive, even showing signs of madness."

"As far as I know, Tendo Kisara has a deep grudge against the Tendo family. During her childhood, her father was hated by others in the Tendo family because he prepared to report the Tendo family's corruption. One night, a Gastrea suddenly appeared in Miss Kisara's home. Her parents were killed by the Gastrea in front of her, and she herself lost kidney function. Her foster brother Rentaro also lost his left eye, right arm, and right leg while protecting her," Lingyun said.

"A Gastrea appearing inside the Tendo family? What kind of joke is that?" Busujima Saeko couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. "This must have been done by someone in their family, after all, her parents were planning to report the Tendo family at the time."

"Correct. After realizing this was a conspiracy by the Tendo family, she and Rentaro ran away from home together and started the Tendo Civil Security Company themselves," Lingyun said. "From then on, she has been single-mindedly wishing to kill everyone in the Tendo family who caused her parents' deaths, and is also known as the Tendo-killing Tendo."

"So there's such a thing."

"Saeko, what do you think of Tendo Kisara?" Lingyun asked.

"Hmm, I feel a bit complicated about this person," Saeko put down the tea set in her hand. "Although she usually looks like a destitute young lady, there is a terrifying darkness hidden in her heart. As she is now, she has already stepped one foot into the darkness. If she isn't careful, she will fall into becoming a dark murderer!"

"Indeed, a destitute young lady with a terrifying darkness hidden in her heart; another person who doesn't let one rest easy!" Lingyun said somewhat helplessly.

"Bang—" Just at this moment, the office door was pushed open violently.

"Hmm?" Busujima Saeko frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the person who suddenly pushed the door open and interrupted her conversation with Lingyun.

"Tendo Kisara?" Lingyun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon seeing the person who appeared at the door.

"Lingyun, you want to deal with the Tendo family, right?" Tendo Kisara lunged toward Lingyun.

Seeing this, Busujima Saeko frowned slightly. A powerful aura radiated from her body, forming an invisible barrier with strong resistance, blocking Tendo Kisara's path.

But a scene that astonished her occurred: Tendo Kisara actually used her own strength to forcefully break through this barrier. However, because she had expended too much energy on the barrier, she did not reach Lingyun, but instead lunged onto the desk.

"Miss Tendo, please calm down!" Busujima Saeko said coldly.

Her words were like a ladle of cold water splashed directly onto the overly agitated Tendo Kisara's head; the icy killing intent made her sober up quite a bit.

"Lingyun, may I ask, what is the purpose of the data you have in your hands?" Tendo Kisara seemed to feel she had been too agitated; she took a deep breath, steadied her mood, and asked slowly.

"As for that, if I said that when necessary, this thing will become the power I use to topple the Tendo family, what would you do?" Lingyun said slowly.

"Topple the Tendo family?" Tendo Kisara lowered her head.

But Lingyun clearly felt that the aura on Tendo Kisara's body was fluctuating wildly. If her aura had only been a bit dark before, then the aura on her now was no different from a vengeful demon crawling out of Hell.

"It seems the situation is very serious!" Lingyun looked at Tendo Kisara in this state, and the gravity in his heart increased by a few degrees.

"If you want to topple the Tendo family, please absolutely take me with you. I can also become a force for you to topple the Tendo family!" Tendo Kisara suddenly raised her head and said to Lingyun, word for word.
