The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 6 The Discordant Siblings

Azura is actually quite cute, but her usual behavior makes it hard to notice her appearance. However, a stranger who doesn't know her well is easily attracted to her.

Ershu's brain circuits gradually became strange.

Upon closer inspection, Kahn is quite cute and will likely grow into a handsome boy. Azura dislikes her teachings, and she feels helpless about it. However, if Azura can change her mind under Kahn's pursuit...

Thinking this, Ershu's gaze toward Kahn gradually softened.

She smiled and said, "Since Zu Kou's friends all say so, then so be it. I'm also very happy that you all get along well."

Zu Kou: "?"

Kahn is so strange, and so is the Queen Mother.

In short, that was the end of it. After the group followed Ershu into the house, Ershu simply greeted Kahn a few times and did not pry into the matter like she was checking his background. Then she left to go elsewhere and let them play on their own.

She noticed that Kahn was a little reserved in front of her, but it wasn't because he was shy or introverted. Rather, it was a sign of politeness, which was unusual for a child his age. He seemed like a little adult.

Well, it's good that she's more composed. Azura is just too mischievous, so it complements her perfectly.

Kahn also had a very good impression of Ershu; she was a model wife and mother, though the way she looked at him sometimes seemed inexplicably strange.

It must be my imagination.

After Ershu left, Zuko asked Kahn:

"Kahn, Azura was clearly making things difficult for you, so why did you side with her just now?"

Upon hearing this question, Kahn did not answer it, but instead asked:

"Has this always been your approach?"

Zu Kou was taken aback: "What do you mean, 'like this'?"

"Is it always like this: whenever you and your siblings have a conflict, you go and complain to your parents?"

"Yeah, what else?"

Seeing Zuko's matter-of-fact answer, Kahn sighed and shook his head, saying:

"No wonder you two don't get along."

Why?

Zu Kou did not understand the Dao.

"Um, because..."

Kahn was speechless for a moment, unable to come up with a way to explain it, since this kind of thing can only be understood through experience.

"You'll understand once you experience it. Anyway, if there's any conflict between siblings, telling on each other is the worst option."

Upon hearing this, Zu Kou asked again:

"Okay, I won't tattle anymore. But what if Azura bullies us again?"

"It's simple, just return it."

"Give it back?"

"yes."

Kahn nodded. "If she insults you, insult her back. If she hits you, hit her back."

He used to have a brother and sister among his friends. When they were young, they couldn't stand each other and would fight at the slightest disagreement. But whenever an outsider bullied one of them, the other would always be the first to stand up for them. As they grew up, their relationship became very good.

Although brothers should love and care for each other, how can they not have conflicts in a long-term relationship? The key to a lasting relationship is to resolve conflicts in a timely manner. Otherwise, if you force down the conflicts, they will eventually become unbearable.

At that point, it might not be something that can be resolved simply by arguing or fighting.

"But my mother didn't want Azura and me to argue, let alone fight. Besides, how could fighting possibly improve our relationship?"

Because what Kahn said was completely contrary to his understanding, Zuko didn't believe him at all, and looked at Kahn suspiciously:

"You haven't been lying to me all along, have you?"

"Absolutely not, but believe it or not."

Kahn shrugged indifferently.

He was just giving a reminder; if you don't listen, that's fine.

Anyway, Zu Kou is still young, and there is enough time for him to be toughened up by society and then learn these lessons from it.

Zu Kou didn't delve into the details of this question, and continued by asking:

"So, what should we do next?"

"This is your home, so of course we'll do as you say."

Zu Kou readily agreed, excitedly saying, "Great! I keep some little turtles in the pond in the yard, let's go play with them!"

"Forehead"

Kahn immediately regretted it; it turned out that the activities that children liked to play were not suitable for him.

So he changed the subject, saying:

"Speaking of which, Zukou, how's your fire manipulation technique coming along?"

"Um, it's alright."

Zu Kou paused for a moment, his eyes darting around.

Kahn didn't notice Zuko's unusual behavior. After exchanging a few words, he discovered that Zuko's learning progress was indeed much faster than his own, so he made a request:

"Actually, I've been trying to learn some things on my own recently, but I'm not quite getting the hang of it. If you know how, could you please teach me?"

"OK!"

Zuko immediately agreed, and was very happy to be able to teach Kahn.

"Let's go to the training grounds then. I'll teach you fire control techniques, and then we can practice sparring!"

What a good child!

Seeing Zuko so readily obliging, Kahn sighed inwardly, completely ignoring Zuko's earlier mention of playing with the turtles, and nodded, saying:

"Let's go then!"

Just as the two were about to set off, a voice suddenly came from behind them:

"How about I join?"

The two turned around, and Azura appeared behind them at some point.

"Azura, have you been eavesdropping on our conversation?!"

Zu Kou questioned him.

Azura left alone after they entered the house, and no one knew where she went. Unexpectedly, she suddenly reappeared now, and no one knows how long she has been here.

"Please, don't flatter yourself, Grandmother. You're not Father or Grandfather, what secrets could you possibly have that I'd want to eavesdrop on?"

Azura shrugged dismissively.

Does that mean you overheard your grandfather and father's secrets?

Kahn immediately shut his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.

"So, how about I join you?"

Azura said, revealing an innocent smile.

Kahn was slightly taken aback by Azura's appearance; the normal Azura was indeed quite adorable.

But Zuko, who knew Azura's true nature, wasn't fooled and resolutely refused:

"No, I'm not playing with you!"

"Is this what an older brother should say to his younger sister? To doubt a sister who just wants to play with her brother without any reason? Is this the manners your mother taught you?"

Azura feigned sadness, making Zuko furious, but he was speechless with anger.

"You! I definitely don't agree!"

Kahn found it fascinating; Azura's performance was indeed extraordinary. Her sharp tongue and acting skills were nothing like those of a little girl her age.

Azura then looked at Kahn, who couldn't dodge in time, and their eyes met.

Suddenly, Azura seemed to realize something, her gaze towards Kahn flashing with an inexplicable meaning, and she said:

"I think, as our guest, why can't we let your friend make the decision?"

"What do you think, Kahn? Is that his name?"

After saying that, she gave Kahn a "friendly" look.

Huh? What's it to me!

Kahn was watching the fire from the sidelines, but unexpectedly, the fire suddenly spread to him, making him sigh with misfortune.

And Azura, what did that expression and look in your eyes mean? Were you giving me a signal? Or were you threatening me?

Are you threatening me?

Seeing the other person's seemingly malicious expression, he silently thought to himself:

Who taught this child how to manage facial expressions? It seems like he's completely wasted his time.

However, after considering it for a moment, he replied:

"sure."
