The two girls walked out slowly, holding hands with Ubuyashiki Yoya.

"Good morning, everyone. It's a nice day today... The sky is blue, isn't it? I'm very happy to welcome the semi-annual meeting of the pillars without any changes in the members." Ubuyashiki walked into the sunshine, felt the warm sun, and said calmly.

"Greetings, lord."

All the courtyard staff except Li Xuan and Tanjiro knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

Tanjiro was meeting the lord for the first time, so he didn't know the rules and naturally didn't kneel, but his half-raised appearance was not much different from kneeling on one knee.

But Li Xuan was different. He didn't intend to abide by this rule at all. He just bowed slightly to express his reluctant respect, without even bending his knees.

In front of the people who lowered their bodies, he stood out from the crowd.

Although the pillars were a little angry with him in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak out since the lord didn't speak.

"Welcome, my children..." Ubuyashiki Yoya looked very peaceful and kind at this time.

"I am very happy to see that the lord is in good health. I sincerely wish you good health." Although Fuzukawa Sane was still bleeding from his mouth and nose, he immediately offered his concerned greetings to Ubuyashiki.

"Thank you, Sane." Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"Lord, forgive me for being presumptuous. Before starting the meeting of the pillars, I hope to explain this soldier named Kamado Tanjiro who brought the ghost, and punish the team member who sheltered the ghost. What do you think?"

Fuzukawa went straight to the point and led the matter to Tanjiro and Li Xuan.

"That's right... I'm sorry to disturb you. I acknowledged Tanjiro and Nezuko, and I hope everyone can recognize them. As for Li Xuan... he should wear his uniform properly." Ubuyashiki Yoya said.

Everyone present heard the meaning of the lord's words.

It was okay to admit that Tanjiro took Nezuko to carry out the mission. He believed that Nezuko was a good ghost who did not eat people, and eliminated Li Xuan's crime of harboring ghosts, evading the main issue and blaming him for not wearing his uniform properly.

"Ah... Even if it is the lord's request, I find it difficult to agree." Beimingyu Xingmei was the first to express his opposition, clasping his hands together, and tears flowed from his eyes again.

"I also express my opposition magnificently. It is really difficult to agree that the members of the Demon Slayer Corps bring ghosts, and the members who harbor ghosts should receive corresponding punishments." Uzui Tengen also expressed his opinion.

"I will obey the Lord's wishes in everything." The Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri was the first to agree. Her extreme respect for the Lord made her believe the Lord's words unconditionally.

"I don't care which side it is. I will forget it immediately anyway." Tomuichiro said indifferently when he was a teenager.

"I can't trust... I can't trust it after all..." The Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai's eyes swung back and forth between Li Xuan and Tanjiro, "In the final analysis, I hate ghosts the most... Swordsmen with ghosts, swordsmen who protect ghosts, are unacceptable."

Even Rengoku Kyojuro clearly expressed his opposition, saying in a sonorous tone: "Although I respect the Lord from the bottom of my heart, I really can't understand this idea. I oppose it with all my strength!"

"The Demon Slayer Corps is the one that kills demons! I hope you can punish Kamado and Li Xuan!"

Fuzuigawa Sane said in a heavy tone and made a sincere request.

The Demon Slayer Corps has only one mission from ancient times to the present, and that is to kill demons!

Almost all of the nine pillars present had a deep hatred for demons, and they had also seen many lives being taken away by demons before their eyes, and families being broken up because of it, so they could not simply accept such unreasonable things.

"Take out the letter." Ubuyashiki Yoya said to his daughter beside him.

"Yes." The girl responded, took out a paper letter from the collar of her kimono, and then unfolded it, and continued: "This letter is from Lord Urokodaki Sakonji, who is the original pillar. I will read part of it."

"Please allow Tanjiro to be with his sister who is a demon. Nezuko relies on her strong mental strength and still maintains her rationality as a human being."

As the letter was read, Tanjiro and Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the old and heavy voice of Urokodaki Sakonji.

Find a chance to go back and take a look.

Li Xuan remembered that he hadn't been back since he came to participate in the final selection.

, so he thought of going back to see Urokodaki Sakonji.

"She didn't eat anyone even when she was hungry, and she spent more than two years like that. Although it's hard to believe immediately, it's a proven fact."

"If Nezuko attacks others, Kamado Tanjiro, and... Urokodaki Sakonji, Li Xuan, and Tomioka Giyuu will all commit seppuku to apologize."

As soon as the voice fell, the courtyard seemed to fall into silence.

Hmm?

Li Xuan was a little confused.

Why did you bring me along? I have to commit seppuku if something happens...

But after seeing Tanjiro's tearful eyes, looking back and forth between Giyuu and himself, Li Xuan was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

It's better not to hurt the heart of a kind boy if you can.

But Li Xuan still knew that Nezuko would never eat people, so it didn't matter.

"What does seppuku prove? If you want to die, just go ahead and die! It's not a guarantee at all!" Busui's tone was fierce, and the bloodshot in his eyes gradually reappeared.

Hey, what are you talking about? I don't want to die.

Li Xuan thought to himself with a shrug.

Rengoku Kyojuro also followed Busui's words and said, "Just as Busui said! When the ghost kills people to eat, it will be irreversible! The killed people will not come back!"

"That's right." Ubuyashiki Takaya nodded in agreement.

"Then..." Busui looked forward to the lord's response.

"My lord!" Rengoku said the same.

"There is no guarantee that she won't attack people, and there is no proof." Ubuyashiki said slowly.

At this point, he paused and continued, "But there is no proof that she would attack anyone."

"It is a fact that Nezuko has not eaten anyone for more than two years, and four people have gambled their lives for Nezuko. If you want to deny this, the party doing the denial must also come up with something of higher value. Do you have such a will?"

Ubuyashiki's words were extremely heavy, as if they fell into the hearts and lungs of others and hit their souls directly.

Fuzugawa and Rengoku were speechless.

"Also, I have one more thing to tell my swordsmen, that is, Tanjiro and Li Xuan have encountered Muzan."

Hearing this, for a moment, the pillars who were kneeling on one knee all looked at Tanjiro and Li Xuan in shock.
