"You know? Then you should also know that he doesn't have the talent to learn Breathing Technique."

"So how did he defeat the demon?"

Yuxian's relentless questioning of Shinazugawa Sanemi made him both furious and hesitant.

"He's eating ghosts!"

"He eats demons to gain their power and fight them. He has no future. As soon as Muzan Kibutsuji dies, he will die too!"

Upon hearing this, Shinazugawa Sanemi's eyes widened like bells, his expression furious, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, dripping blood.

It is evident how much Yuxian's words affected him.

At this point Yuxian sighed helplessly, realizing he had gone too far, and immediately lost the will to continue.

"I'm going to find him!"

With a leap, Shinazugawa Sanemi was about to leave. He couldn't accept this fact and was preparing to go find his younger brother Genya to ask him for an explanation.

"Return!"

Yuxian immediately called out to him.

Perhaps Yuxian's words had deeply moved him, for Shinazugawa Sanemi stopped and turned to look at Yuxian, wanting to hear what else he had to say.

"Don't go to him... at least not now."

Yuxian looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi seriously and said, "You must understand the kind of determination your brother has in fighting the demons before you go to him."

"I..." Shinazugawa Sanemi fell silent; he hadn't spoken to his younger brother in a long time.

"Sigh..." Yuxian sighed again.

"Although I don't want to say it again, I still have to say it. As an older brother, Rengoku Kyojuro treated his younger brother better, and Tokito Muichiro's older brother treated him better than you."

"Think it over carefully before you go to see Genya."

After venting his frustrations, Yuxian suddenly felt listless and lost all interest.

The people here all have their own painful pasts to look back on; they are all a pitiful bunch.

This deepened his loathing for Muzan Kibutsuji.

Originally, Yu Xian only planned to kill him casually when he encountered him, but now Yuxian has decided that before leaving this world, he must kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Master, shall we continue fighting?"

Little Jeanne stood there waiting for Yuxian's instructions, growing somewhat impatient.

"I'm not playing anymore, it's pointless."

Yuxian shook his head. At this moment, he was in no mood to let Little Jeanne teach Himejima Gyomei.

He felt very unhappy about this trip to the Demon Slayer Corps base and wished he hadn't come.

"Sanemi, I'm very sorry about Genya's matter."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki finally emerged from the house. He was blind and his body was riddled with wounds, suggesting he was nearing the end of his life.

His two daughters helped him move slowly, step by step.

"Master of the House!"

The Pillars present immediately bowed to Oyakata Ubuyashiki; the Demon Slayer Corps leader's charisma had won them over.

Yuxian also nodded politely to him, showing him respect.

"Thank you for your help in Tokyo and at Mount Natagumo."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki first expressed his gratitude to Yuxian, as all the information about the Demon Slayer Corps would be relayed to him, and he naturally knew what Yuxian and his group had done along the way.

Yuxian said, "It's nothing, just a coincidence."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki smiled, then turned to Okita Souji at his daughter's instruction.

"This must be the swordsman who slays demons in Kyoto. Every time our team members are on a mission in Kyoto, an unknown swordsman beats them to it. We just don't know what to call him?"

"First Division Captain of the Shinsengumi, Okita Souji."

When Okita Souji gave his name, Oyakata Ubuyashiki was taken aback.

He then burst into laughter, which even made his already frail body hunch over.

"So he's a genius swordsman from the Shinsengumi. No wonder."

"Although I don't know why Miss Okita is still alive, with you here, it seems that those evil spirits that haunt Kyoto have chosen the wrong place."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki's voice was very gentle. After exchanging a few words with each of them, he rested for a while, looking somewhat exhausted.

"You are already aware of the agenda for the Zhuhe Conference. What are your opinions now?"

After a moment, he finally turned the topic to the purpose of gathering all the Pillars this time: Nezuko.

"Your name is Nezuko, right? I approve of this child."

The first to speak up was Kanroji Mitsuri, the Love Pillar, who said she had already become friends with the children and had just secretly discussed with them what to eat later.

"I agree." Iguro Obanai, the Serpent Pillar, glanced at Kanroji Mitsuri and nodded.

Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar, laughed loudly, "We should trust them for carrying their sister all the way to kill demons."

The Mist Pillar Tokito Muichiro, obeying the Master of the House's orders without offering his own opinion.

"I approve of them," Kocho Shinobu, the Insect Pillar, said with a smile.

When it was Wind Pillar Shinazugawa Sanemi's turn, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I... reserve my opinion."

"I also reserve my opinion." Himejima Gyomei, the Stone Pillar, still harbored doubts about Nezuko, and he would not change his personality because of Yuxian's words.

"Then I'll reserve my opinion too. Let's continue to observe them." Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen also decided to continue testing Tanjiro and his sister.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki nodded and said, "Giyuu's master, Sakonji before yesterday, saying that he and his master are willing to risk their lives to vouch for Nezuko."

Everyone looked at Tomioka Giyuu in unison, surprised that the Water Pillar trusted Tanjiro and his sister so much.

"Since everyone agrees, let's wait and see."

After the Pillars meeting concluded, Oyakata Ubuyashiki dismissed the Pillars.

He said to Yuxian, "Sir, may I have a chat with you?"

Yuxian nodded and told Soji to take the children to eat with Kanroji Mitsuri, while he and Mash stayed behind.

Chapter 20, Section 333: Mom and Mash will fight.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki invited Yuxian and Mash into the house, where they sat facing each other.

His daughter poured tea for everyone, then respectfully withdrew from the room, leaving it to them without disturbing them.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki asked, "What are your names?"

"My name is Yuxian, and she is Mash."

As Yuxian introduced the Oyakata Ubuyashiki smiled and nodded in greeting.

"You two are probably not ordinary people, so I'll just be direct."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.

"Can the night sun over Mount Natagumo answer my question?"

Yuxian understood immediately. This person was indeed talking to them about this matter. This most direct way of killing demons would naturally arouse the great interest of the Master of the House of the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, he is likely to be disappointed, as such a thing is unlikely to happen again.

Yuxian didn't hide anything and said a name: "Tamamo no Mae".

Oyakata Ubuyashiki was stunned. He was very familiar with this name. As a legendary great yokai, even a three-year-old child could have heard of Tamamo no Mae's name and legends.

"But don't get your hopes up. You've probably heard the legends about her. She's not someone you can easily talk to."

"If it's something that has nothing to do with her, there's basically no chance she'll help you."

"Or rather, it's a blessing that she doesn't cause trouble."

Yuxian made it clear beforehand to prevent him from having any unrealistic ideas.

Although Yuxian would likely not refuse Tamamo no Mae if he asked, that would go against Yuxian's way of doing things.

Besides, if he really went to Tamamo no Mae help, she would definitely use it as Tamamo no Mae. He already had enough of a headache and didn't want to create more trouble for himself.

After listening to Yuxian's words, Oyakata Ubuyashiki nodded solemnly. He did not expect that someone like Tamamo no Mae could stand up and help them deal with Muzan Kibutsuji.

Although he had some guesses about the relationship between Yuxian and Tamamo no Mae, Yuxian's words clearly indicated that he did not want to talk about this topic any further.

He tactfully changed the subject, saying, "I heard that the cloak Nezuko is wearing was a gift from you."

"What is that cloak made of that allows ghosts to walk in the sunlight?"

This issue also greatly worried Oyakata Ubuyashiki. If such cloaks could be manufactured at will, the situation of their Demon Slayer Corps would be even more precarious.

The sun was originally the demon's greatest weakness, and once this weakness disappeared, the consequences were truly unimaginable.

Yuxian smiled and shook his head.

"That's no ordinary item. That cloak is Divine Object; it's a Divine Artifact."

"Actually, I didn't know such a thing existed; it was all the idea of those kids."

"They probably didn't know how precious this cloak was; they just gave it to Nezuko as a gift because they liked her."

Do children care about these things? Of course not.

Otherwise, Jack wouldn't have left it in the room collecting dust.

However, Yuxian naturally had to put it more seriously, so that Oyakata Ubuyashiki would pay more attention to them, making it much more convenient for the children to play here.

Their happiness makes Yuxian happy too.

As expected, Oyakata Ubuyashiki's usually calm expression softened.

Even hearing the name Tamamo no Mae hadn't caused her to change color like this time.

Clearly, the weight of a great demon far away, unknown to anyone, is completely different from that of Divine Artifact that is right at hand.

Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Yuxian reassured him, "Don't worry, no one can take this cloak away."

"If Muzan Kibutsuji really dares to make a move on this cloak, then you should be happy."

"If he dares to touch this cloak, he's not far from death."

No one in this world can take children's things away unless they do so willingly.

If Muzan Kibutsuji really did that, and angered the children, even Yuxian didn't know what they would do, but he certainly wouldn't stop them.

Whoever wants to go can go.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki quickly regained his composure. This Master of the House of the household was not old, not much older than Yuxian, but he was very mature.

"I'm relieved to hear that."

He smiled and said, "Mr. Yuxian seems to have a very unusual background. I wonder what your opinion is on Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Yuxian Oyakata Ubuyashiki a serious look; he was trying to get information out of him.

How can he see it? He can only see it with his eyes.

"A coward who dreams of immortality."

This is Yuxian's evaluation of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Ambitions? Muzan doesn't have any. Otherwise, he could easily overthrow the existing power structure and establish himself as king. He has had many such opportunities since the Heian period.

However, immortality is not a realm that mortals can reach.

"Alas... what a disgrace to the family!"

Oyakata Ubuyashiki sighed, realizing that Muzan Kibutsuji was a member of their family, which was why he was so determined to kill Muzan.

Because of Muzan's existence, their family is cursed, and no one can live long. This curse is like a shackle binding them, urging them to constantly launch attacks against Muzan Kibutsuji.
