The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 32 Classic Filial Piety Between Father and Daughter

This appears to be a letter that Ershu hastily wrote before her disappearance, as the handwriting is quite messy.

Judging from the content, this letter was written by Ershu specifically to Zukou. The first half of the letter tells him to take care of himself and so on, and contains some very ordinary words.

The key part is the second half of the letter, which mentions Azura. Ershu's tone suddenly changes from her previous gentleness, and she says that Azura is a monster that has terrified her since Azura was born, and tells Zuko to keep his distance from Azura.

After reading the letter, Kahn was incredulous. Although his time with Ershu was short, he found it hard to believe that his dignified and virtuous mother would say such vicious things. For some reason, he felt that something was wrong.

"."

Beside her, Azura's face was terribly gloomy, the edge of the letter was clenched into a ball, and her body was trembling slightly. Even Kahn, who was standing next to her, could feel the overflowing madness in her emotions.

At the same time, smoke began to slowly rise from the edge of the envelope. Upon seeing this, Kahn knew something was wrong. This was clearly a result of his fire control technique going out of control due to emotional distress!

So he quickly said:

"Don't believe what's written above; there's something wrong with this letter!"

Azura paused, glancing at Kahn with eyes like a bloodthirsty beast. Kahn was startled, but quickly regained his composure, his mind racing as he slowly spoke:

"The envelopes were placed too obviously, and the room was very clean, obviously it had been cleaned. In that case, the people who cleaned it last time couldn't have missed it."

"In other words, this letter was likely forged by someone who deliberately wanted it to be discovered."

This wasn't something he made up off the top of his head; upon calm reflection, one could indeed discover many unusual clues.

The more Kahn spoke, the clearer and more organized his thoughts became:

"This is clearly a letter specifically written to Zuko, but you said before that your mother met with Zuko before she left. She could have told him directly if she had anything to say, there was no need to write a letter."

"Furthermore, your mother couldn't possibly have been unaware that her room would be locked after her disappearance, and given Zuko's character, he would never force his way in. Therefore, this letter could not possibly have been written to him."

At this point, Kahn paused, then looked directly at Azura and said earnestly:

"Finally, I believe your mother would not say such a thing."

Do you remember when we first met, she said to me, "You're a good boy."

"."

Azura listened quietly to Kahn's speech until the very last sentence. She paused, her emotions gradually calming down, and reason returned and took over.

Yes, my mother praised me herself. She said I was a good child, and she also said she loved me.

".I see."

Azura regained her composure.

Just then, she glanced at the envelope in her hand with disgust, and flames instantly ignited in her palm, burning it to ashes.

Although some of Kahn's guesses were not very plausible, the general direction was not wrong. After calming down, she quickly noticed the anomaly.

According to Kahn's deduction, it is easy to conclude that this letter, which seems to be written to Zuko, was actually written specifically to her. Its purpose was undoubtedly to make her fall into the same emotions she had just experienced, completely lose her rationality, and ultimately go mad.

It must be said that the person who forged this letter understood her mental state quite well. If it weren't for Kahn, she probably would have really been in trouble this time.

Then, looking at Kahn beside her, Azura said almost imperceptibly:

".Thanks."

"What?"

"Hmph, it's nothing."

Kahn paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and chuckled:

"Are you saying thank you? If you're going to say it, say it louder! I won't laugh at you, haha!"

"Are you looking for death?!"

Azura immediately blushed, and in a fit of rage, unleashed a barrage of attacks on Kahn, who quickly begged for mercy, "Alright, alright, I'm scared. This isn't the time to joke around!"

"snort!"

Azura snorted in annoyance, extinguished her flames, and returned to the main topic.

There wasn't much to consider; she could guess who started this whole thing even with her toes.

"This has truly taught me a lesson, my dear Father."

Azura sneered, her tone filled with gritted teeth.

Clearly, no one but Ao Zai could have schemed against her to this extent.

Kahn had guessed it was him too, after all, Aozai was the biggest and only villain he had encountered since his transmigration, but hearing Azura's confirmation still made him gasp in shock:

"This guy's methods are too ruthless!"

At that time, Azura's emotions were already quite abnormal. If she continued to be trapped in this state, she might develop a mental illness or even become a madwoman.

Azura is his daughter!

Azura, however, didn't feel much about it and didn't think it was a big deal; she just felt disgusted that she had been tricked.

At this point, there were still no clues about Ershu's disappearance, and the two could not continue their investigation under the current circumstances, so they had no choice but to give up and wait for the next opportunity.

Back home, Kahn recalled the incident. They had been completely outmaneuvered by Ao Zai. He truly lived up to his reputation as a ruthless man capable of murdering his father and usurping the throne.

But why is Ao-jae so ruthless to his own children? What is he after?

Suddenly, he remembered Ao Zai's father's equally suffocating actions and felt relieved.

It is a continuation of the same lineage.

"Achoo!"

In the distance, Azura, Zuko, and Elo sneezed simultaneously, all inexplicably sensing a malice.

-

"I heard you sneaked into your mother's room and knocked out two guards?"

Above the palace, behind a canopy of flames, Ao Zai's face and expression were obscured by the flames, making them difficult to see clearly. Only his deep voice could be heard, filled with pressure and repression.

Azura knelt on one knee, her head bowed, her expression unreadable, and said with a hint of resentment:

"Yes, because I want to know why my mother left without a word, or if she really died."

At this moment, Ao Zai's tone underwent a subtle change:

"So, did you find anything?"

"We found nothing."

As Azura spoke, her aura suddenly changed, her body trembled slightly, and visible anger and resentment burst forth from her body, drawing attention from all who saw it.

Finally, Ao Zai's lips curled into a slight smile, the flames before him dissipating. He walked over to Azura, gently patted her shoulder, and said with a smile:

"I know you miss her, so I don't blame you. But I hope you can pull yourself together soon, Azura. You must understand that you are my proudest child, and I will always be by your side."

Upon hearing this, Azura's emotions calmed slightly, and she stood up and threw herself into Aozai's arms, saying:

"Yes, Father."

Aozai stroked Azura's head with satisfaction, but his look of satisfaction seemed more like that of a creation or tool than a person.

On the other side, Azura, whose face was unseen by Aozara, showed no emotion, only a cold smile and disdain.

What a beautiful scene of a loving father and a filial daughter.
