The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 108 Ambiguous Thoughts and Utter Confusion

Zuko has successfully infiltrated back to the capital. He will now need to stay here obediently until the next quarter, when Kahn will take him and Azura to help and witness Ershu regain her memories.

Next, the real action began.

Although keeping Zuko in one place might sound a bit dull, it's not.

Kahn is currently under surveillance, and he and Zuko cannot meet until the surveillance is lifted, but Azura, Terry, and May can visit him occasionally.

Of course, Mei was probably the only one of the three who would be willing to visit him.

"Be careful what you do, and don't cause any more trouble. I don't want to receive any more bad news suddenly."

Before leaving, Mei poked Zu Kou's chest and gave him a stern reminder.

When she suddenly received the news of Zuko's expulsion, it was like a bolt from the blue for her. That incident almost became a psychological shadow for her, one that she could never forget.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Because of his dark past, he couldn't maintain his composure when faced with Mei's accusations, and could only nod repeatedly with a wry smile.

"You should also be careful."

"I know."

Mei and Zu Kou bid each other a reluctant farewell, and the three of them left under the cover of night, disappearing from everyone's sight.

However, the three did not separate immediately. After they were out of sight of everyone, Mei immediately asked Azura:

"Is there something wrong with those people? Or do you have some kind of plan?"

Terri asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't be so sensitive, my dear sister. I just have a few things I'm concerned about."

Azura did not answer May's question immediately, but said:

"I think I've already told you about the White Lotus Sect."

May and Teresa both nodded.

The White Lotus Cult is an organization that spans the world. Ai Luo and Zheng Zheng are both elders of the White Lotus Cult, and the White Lotus Cult is also their ally in this operation to overthrow Ao Zai's rule.

"Don't you think this organization is too powerful?"

Azura asked meaningfully.

Terri asked, puzzled:

"Isn't this a good thing? The stronger they are, the higher the success rate of this operation. Are you worried they'll betray us?"

"Treason? That is indeed a problem, but not the immediate one."

"Forget it, it's too early to talk about that now."

As Azura spoke, she seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end she just yawned and waved her hand dismissively:

"Ha~ Let's call it a day, I need to go back and catch up on my sleep."

Azura turned and left decisively, giving no one a chance to react, leaving only a bewildered Terry and a thoughtful Mei behind.

After the successful operation to welcome Zuko, Kahn returned to a state of leisure. Under surveillance, he could do nothing and it was impossible for him to see Zuko.

Therefore, he continued to practice his skills and read books at home as usual, and occasionally took his friends out to play in the streets. His daily routine was very regular.

However, although he and Zu Kou could not meet, it was much easier to communicate under these circumstances. It was just that Zu Kou did not seem to want to chat with him now, since Mei often came to visit him.

He's still the same scoundrel who forgets his friends for the sake of women.

Kahn shook his head.

Furthermore, he also "saw" the sudden conflict between Azura and Zuko in the secret passage on the night of the operation, which puzzled him greatly. So when Azura came to his house, he asked her curiously:

"What happened between you and Zuko in the secret passage that night?"

However, his question seemed to have touched a taboo for Azura, and she immediately bristled like a cat, angrily retorting:

"none of your business!"

As if that wasn't enough to vent her anger, she couldn't help but kick Kahn hard, yelling and cursing as she did so.

"It's all because of you, you bastard!"

"???"

Kahn felt wronged after being beaten and scolded for no reason and being unfairly blamed.

Before he could ask any more questions, and without Azura explaining anything to him, she turned and left angrily after hitting him, slamming the door shut behind her.

"Bang!"

".?"

Kahn and the others shuddered at the sound of the door slamming, then exchanged bewildered glances.

He was bewildered by Azura's reaction and even began to reflect on whether he had offended her in some way recently.

Come to think of it, I was a bit too serious during our last sparring session. I didn't give her much face and left her feeling rather embarrassed.

But it was her own request, and afterwards he even got kicked by her a few times.

Hmm, and I also promised to bring her some food when I took her shopping before, but I accidentally forgot. But didn't I immediately take her shopping again afterwards?

I even got hit by her a few times back then.

Before that...

No, wait a minute.

As he reminisced, Kahn suddenly realized something was amiss—

Why is he constantly getting beaten up?

Kahn's expression immediately turned serious.

Thinking back, when he first started dating Azura, he would immediately retaliate whenever she made a move. But he didn't know when it started, he gradually got used to Azura's physical advances and became too lazy to fight back.

This is a big problem!

Human beings have an amazing ability to adapt; they can even get used to things like this.

However, this was still not the core of the problem. After thinking it over and over, he still couldn't figure out why Azura was suddenly angry, and why she was angry with him.

With no other option, Kahn had to consult the others who were present at the time: Terry, May, and Zuko.

Then something even stranger happened.

The three men reacted differently to his questions and doubts, yet their reactions were surprisingly consistent.

Terri seemed flustered when faced with the problem:

"Ah, well, I'm not really sure either. You should ask someone else. I'd suggest you ask Azura directly, if she's willing to tell you."

Zu Kou appeared hesitant and stammering when faced with the question:

"I don't know how to say this, or rather, it shouldn't be me who says it. You'd better let Azura tell you herself."

Mei, on the other hand, simply adopted a "not my problem" attitude:

"It's no use coming to us. Even if we knew the reason, we couldn't tell you. You should just go ask Azura directly."

".?"

After asking around, Kahn felt like he had a million more questions in his mind, and he was even more confused.

No, when did you two start having a little secret behind my back?

Can it still get better?

Kahn scoffed at the overly uniform advice offered by the three.

He only came to ask them because he got beaten up after asking Azura directly, and then went back to ask Azura again?

Do you want him to be beaten again?

Kahn chose to give up treatment altogether.

Forget it, let's not provoke Azura for now. Let's wait until later.
