The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 36 The Timing Was Perfect

Kahn hadn't expected that the second operation would come so quickly after the first unsuccessful search for clues to Ershu's disappearance.

"Mother's room has obviously been tidied up. If those things weren't thrown away by Father, then he must have kept them somewhere."

Azura was certain that, given Aozara's personality, he would definitely keep some of the key information to himself.

"Isn't this too hasty? After all, it hasn't been that long since the last operation."

Kahn was worried that doing this might attract Aozai's attention, since the actions were too frequent.

However, Azura appeared very relaxed:

"Don't worry, this is just a normal adventure activity. I'll invite May and Terry to participate."

Kahn frowned upon hearing this and said:

"There's no need to involve them; it's too dangerous."

"Ha! What are you thinking about?"

Azura laughed and spread her hands, saying:

"Relax, it's really just a 'normal' adventure."

May and Terry, as her childhood playmates, were definitely not obedient boys like Zuko.

In fact, the two of them had been exploring the palace with her since they were young, and had even sneaked into the council chamber. They knew far more about the palace than Zu Kou, the legitimate prince.

"You guys are really awesome."

Kahn was once again in awe. How could there be such an amazing person in the world? He was so strong that he was speechless.

So the plan for this operation was simple: they would conduct a normal expedition, and during the expedition, he and Azura would "casually" check for anything suspicious.

However, given this situation, Kahn had some thoughts and asked:

"What about Zu Kou? Shouldn't we call him?"

After chatting with Zu Kou last time, he had been considering how to recruit Zu Kou into his group. Now it seemed like a good opportunity. In addition, Zu Kou also wanted to find Er Shu. Since they had the same goal, the success rate should be very high.

"Invite him? If you can manage that, fine, but he's a good boy and never does these dangerous activities with us."

Azura shrugged indifferently, subtly making a sarcastic remark about Zuko.

Zuko not only refused to go on adventures with them, but he also frequently complained about her, which was one of the sources of their conflict.

Of course, things are much better now.

He has stopped reporting her for climbing over the wall to leave the palace to find Kahn, so their relationship has improved a lot recently, but they still don't see eye to eye.

Hearing Azura say this, Kahn finally revealed his true intentions, saying:

"Do you think we should tell Zuko about our plan?"

"Huh? Are you crazy!?"

However, Azura's reaction was more resistant than he had expected, she said incredulously.

"Are you still asleep? Or have you lost your mind? Are you trying to ruin our plan? Or are you deliberately doing this because you don't want to continue? Do you have some kind of grudge against me?"

"stop!"

Kahn was somewhat bewildered by Azura's barrage of questions. After a moment, he said speechlessly:

"Is it really that exaggerated? Do you really dislike Zuko that much?"

"Heh, what do you think?"

Azura gave a disdainful laugh:

"He's not good at fighting, he's not good at thinking, and he's not even good at acting. It's a miracle that he doesn't drag us down. However, if he's willing to obey my orders unconditionally, I might consider it."

"Forehead"

Kahn was momentarily speechless, after all, it was Azura who was speaking, and Zuko was indeed 'a tiny bit' inferior to her in every way.

Ah this

However, having already made up his mind, he wouldn't give up easily, so he tried to salvage Zu Kou's reputation from a different angle:

"In terms of ability, he is indeed not as good as you, but he is definitely not bad either, as you should know. Bringing him into our group will actually be of a lot of help to us. At least we won't have to worry about avoiding him in future operations, and we will have more time to maneuver."

"Furthermore, Zuko actually shares the same thoughts as you."

Kahn recounted his conversation with Zuko that day and his concerns. Azura, after listening, crossed her arms and chuckled, saying:

"After saying all that, you're actually just worried about his safety and planning to take care of him like a baby?"

Kahn corrected:

"It's help between friends. I would help you in the same way if you were in danger."

Azura paused for a moment, her attitude softening slightly, but she still wouldn't let up verbally:

"Say what you will, but I disagree. I don't trust him."

Kahn was truly at a loss; he hadn't expected Azura's attitude to be so firm.

It seems the only solution is to try and find a solution through Airo.

"All right."

Kahn had no choice but to accept it, and could only sigh and say:

"Isn't your prejudice against him too deep? People grow up. Zu Kou hasn't complained about you anymore, has he? Besides, you two are siblings."

Hearing what Kahn said, Azura was suddenly taken aback. Indeed, as Kahn said, upon careful reflection, Zuko did seem less annoying than before.

siblings. mother

For some reason, Azura suddenly thought of Ershu. When her mother was still alive, she always hoped that she and her brother could get along well.

So, just when Kahn had given up, Azura suddenly changed her mind and said:

"However, if you really want him to join, it's not impossible."

"Huh?"

Azura's sudden change caught Kahn off guard for a moment, but he quickly perked up and exclaimed happily:

"Really?"

Seeing Kahn's appearance, Azura couldn't help but smile, suddenly thinking that this was actually quite nice.

"Hmm, as long as he can meet my requirements."

"Of course, no problem! Just tell me, I'll talk to him!"

Kahn patted his chest and solemnly assured him.

-

"You and Azura have been secretly searching for clues about Mother's disappearance!?"

After Kahn told Zuko the truth, Zuko stared in shock, unable to believe it, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

"I know this is surprising, but there are all sorts of reasons for it."

Kahn expressed his feelings, after all, he was initially "threatened" to join, but there was no need to explain that to Zuko.

Zu Kou came to his senses, his expression somewhat complicated, and said:

"It is indeed surprising. What I didn't expect was that Azura cared so much about her mother."

"That's true, but don't say that in front of her."

Azura, being so proud and aloof, couldn't stand hearing such words.

Zu Kou was well aware of this: "I know."

"So you want to join? Even if it means defying your father's orders. If you don't want to, just pretend you didn't hear this."

Kahn stared at him and asked.

The etiquette his mother had taught him since childhood, his fear of Ao Zai, and his longing for his mother's whereabouts all tangled in his mind, causing him great inner turmoil. But in the end, Zu Kou hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying:

"I'm in!"

"very good!"

Kahn laughed and patted Zuko on the shoulder with satisfaction.

However, his smile soon took on a mischievous glint, which inexplicably reminded Zuko of Azura.

"You need to meet a few requirements before joining us."

Upon hearing this, Zu Kou trembled inexplicably.
