Chapter 101 The Philosophy of Life: Right and Wrong, Advantages and Disadvantages

"this----"

Ubuyashiki Kagaya was speechless in response to Su Yan's question.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

It wasn't just Kagaya Ubuyashiki who remained silent.

Even the Pillar-level members who had been hostile to Su Yan since the beginning fell silent.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Su Yan quietly glanced at the people around her.

To be honest, he actually had a pretty good overall opinion of the Demon Slayer Corps.

After all, they were a group of people who had been harmed by demons and gathered together to seek revenge against Muzan.

Moreover, the things they do are beneficial to the human community.

However, for Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Su Yan, however, did not have much affection for him.

Firstly, as I just said.

He arbitrarily attributed his family's hereditary disease to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Of course, there's really nothing to criticize about this.

After all, Muzan is the enemy, so it's perfectly reasonable to pin all the blame on him.

At most, it's just adding a layer of personal vendetta on top of the greater good, thereby increasing their motivation to be enemies with Muzan.

What Su Yan didn't understand was that, regardless of whether the Ubuyashiki clan's disease stemmed from a curse on Muzan or was simply a genetic disease.

However, they still choose to continue their lineage even though they know that their offspring generally have short lifespans.

And the practice of forcing the task of eliminating Muzan, which is almost hopeless and leaves no room for despair, onto future generations has been passed down through generations.

Others might see this as selfless and noble.

But perhaps it's because Su Yan was an orphan since childhood.

On the contrary, he disapproved of the Ubuyashiki family's approach, believing that this so-called practice of leaving everything to future generations' wisdom was precisely the most irresponsible behavior.

Even doctors at hospitals, upon learning that a pregnant woman has a family history of genetic diseases, will advise her to reconsider whether or not to give birth to the child.

To say that the Ubuyashiki family is absolutely indispensable to the Demon Slayer Corps wouldn't be quite accurate.

Even without the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayer Corps.

As long as Muzan doesn't give up searching for the Blue Spider Lily and tries to overcome his weakness to sunlight, he will continue to create new demons.

The fact that demons must eat people to become stronger alone determines the antagonistic relationship between humans and demons.

Therefore, in this process, there will never be a shortage of people who have formed enmity with evil spirits.

These people gathered together might be called a demon-slaying team or a ghost-killing squad.

It's nothing more than changing the leader and the organization's name.

It could even be said that, with the development of the times, Muzan will eventually be brutally beaten by increasingly advanced modern technology.

If Muzan were even more unlucky and lived near Hiroshima decades later, the little boy would have blasted him to smithereens without the Demon Slayer Corps even needing to lift a finger.

If Su Yan could say he didn't understand but respected the actions of the Ubuyashiki family, then he was wrong.

So let's look at the selection process for joining the Demon Slayer Corps when Kagaya Ubuyashiki was the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Su Yan's feelings can only be described as, "I don't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked."

They turned the Demon Slayer Corps recruitment process into a battle royale-style competition, throwing a group of Demon Slayer Corps trainees into Mount Fujikasane, a place where demons were imprisoned.

Instead of considering the individual strength of the Demon Slayer Corps members, they place more emphasis on personal luck; as long as one survives, one can become a formal member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even in Giyu Tomioka's cohort, everyone else survived and became members of the Demon Slayer Corps, except for the strongest, Seito, who died during the selection process.

In addition, every year, outstanding disciples trained by the previous Water Pillar have also been lost in the team selection process.

However, the Demon Slayer Corps did not notice anything amiss afterward.

They maintained this brainless selection process for joining the team until the protagonist Tanjiro appeared, finally managing to defeat the Hand Demon, who was a minor boss in the early stages.

This makes one wonder if this lord truly is the kind of person who considers anyone who becomes a member of the Demon Slayer Corps as his child, while those who can't even pass the selection process are just nobody.

Su Yan simply couldn't imagine that the Demon Slayer Corps would have such a bizarre selection process for recruiting members.

How exactly has the Demon Slayer Corps managed to operate for over a thousand years?

Or is Muzan really that powerful?

How can the tragedies they create provide them with so many people who want to join the Demon Slayer Corps every year?

However, Su Yan's reason for saying those things to Ubuyashiki Kagaya was not simply because she disliked him and wanted to disgust him.

Su Yan's philosophy of life is actually very simple.

Between strangers, only benefits matter, not right or wrong; the process is unimportant, achieving the desired result is the most important thing.

They treat their own people differently, focusing only on right and wrong, not on advantages and disadvantages. In other words, while the result is important, the process in between is even more important.

Therefore, Su Yan's purpose was actually more for his future contractor, Shinobu Kocho, whom he had his eye on.

Although it sounds like this has absolutely nothing to do with Shinobu Kocho.

But in fact, many people from island nations harbor a strange samurai mentality.

As the only leader of the Demon Slayer Corps for thousands of years, the Ubuyashiki family's image as their master is deeply ingrained in people's minds, making them the undisputed number one to whom the Demon Slayer Corps is loyal.

However, the fact that the contractor has other people to whom he is loyal is something Su Yan absolutely cannot tolerate.

Surprisingly, Su Yan hadn't even had a chance to shake the Ubuyashiki clan's ideological imprint on the Demon Slayer Corps Hashira's minds with words.

Shinobu Kocho may have genuinely believed that he was her brother-in-law.

When she opened her mouth to curse Kagaya Ubuyashiki, she did not immediately adopt a fighting stance representing hostility like the other Pillars.

This indirectly proves that Shinobu Kocho's feelings for her older sister, Kanae Kocho, were actually far greater than those for the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, after confirming this, Su Yan felt more confident about the contract with Shinobu Kocho.

Everything else became much easier.

"never mind."

Finally, Su Yan broke the eerie silence, saying, "You can think about this question slowly."

"However, I do acknowledge the determination of your Ubuyashiki clan to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji."

"So now I have two questions for you."

Su Yan held up one finger to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and said seriously, "First question: Are you willing to pay any price to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji?"

"this?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki thought of Su Yan's question earlier and did not answer immediately.

Despite his unwavering belief in the curse upon his family and his determination to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji at all costs.

However, he still had other concerns in his mind.

Su Yan added, "I was referring to you, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, not the Ubuyashiki clan."

"Can!"

Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki replied without hesitation.

If it were just him, he would be willing to pay any price to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

"very good."

Su Yan nodded, then raised his second finger and asked, "So, the second question: if someone like Yoriichi Tsugikuni appeared now who could defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, would you be willing to fully support and cooperate with all his decisions?"
