Chapter 180: The End and Return
"'Eh' what? Isn't this normal?"
Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Kahn said with a smile:
"I'm not from this world, how can I stay here forever?"
"Of course we know, but it's too sudden."
Everyone was a little overwhelmed when they heard the news.
Sokka looked suspicious and said:
"You can't be venting your anger because you had a conflict with Aang."
"Do you think I'm a child?"
Kahn didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and then said to Katara and Sokka with some emotion:
"At the beginning, I didn't know why the big banyan tree brought me here. At that time, I was full of confusion and doubts. Fortunately, I happened to meet Aang and you at that time."
"Actually, I just planned to use you to learn about the world at first, but I didn't expect to go through such a journey with you. Not only did I gain friendship, but I also realized my wishes and solved my worries and doubts."
"Now, I finally know why the big banyan tree brought me here. It did hear my request."
At first, he went to the big banyan tree because he was confused about his feelings for Azula. But judging from the current situation, he did get his inner answer with the help of the big banyan tree, and even gained a lot of extra things.
.
"What's more, the two tasks I promised to teach Aang firebending and defeat Aozai have been completed, and my remaining role is no longer of much use."
"So, it's time to go."
After the conversation ended, everyone understood that Kahn had made up his mind, so they no longer wanted to stay. However, the sudden aura of farewell made the atmosphere much silent.
Suddenly, Toph asked:
"Then will you come back to see us?"
Kahn was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded solemnly and said with a smile:
"Of course, we are friends, right?"
Although he doesn't know how to travel between the two worlds, or even how to go back, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely come here.
Because his friends are here.
"Yes, we are friends."
Toph finally recovered her smile. She rushed up and hugged Kahn, and then warned him:
"We will wait for you, but if you dare to break the promise, I will run over to you and beat you!"
“It’s a deal!”
Kahn also laughed and couldn't help but touch Toph's head. Everyone also smiled.
At this moment, Sokka pointed out something:
"This is like the heartwarming scene in the finale of a drama! But the question is, are we still missing one member of the team?"
Zuko understood. As a possessor of the Avatar's radar, he had already discovered Aang's location. He raised his head and shouted to the roof:
"Aang, how long are you going to hide up there?"
Hearing this, Aang had no choice but to jump off the roof, looking embarrassed.
From the beginning, he hid on the roof and eavesdropped on everyone's conversations, heard Kahn's experience and the reasons why he did what he did, and heard the news that Kahn was leaving.
He had originally prepared a lot of words, but now he didn't know what to say.
"I, that..."
"Stop being so coy, what we need now is a big hug of unity and friendship, come on!"
Katara went over and grabbed her boyfriend's hand and pulled him over forcefully.
Seeing Aang, Kahn smiled and nodded to him.
'Hey, it's okay, don't think too much!'
'......Um.'
Aang was stunned for a moment, then finally smiled and nodded to him, and the conflict between the two disappeared.
"Come on, let's give each other a hug! Celebrate our success in defeating Aozai!"
"Peace restored!"
“Blessings to our friendship!”
"oh!
!”×n
"Let me see what this is celebrating. Can you count me in?"
A laugh came from outside the door, and a broad figure walked into the room. Zuko said in surprise:
"Uncle Ai Luo!"
Ai Luo finally came back and said with a smile:
"You don't blame me for disturbing you, do you?"
"of course not!"
"You came just in time!"
"Then let's do it again!"
"......oh!
!”
-------------------
Just a hug of solidarity and friendship is certainly not the whole celebration, but it is very meaningful.
In order to commemorate this meaningful moment, Zuko specially hired a court painter to record this scene, and sent the original painting to Kahn, while others took copies.
Next, the capital of the Fire Nation, the earth-powerful nation Eternal City, and the city-states of the Arctic Water Tribe will hold formal celebrations, and they will have a good few days of fun together before everyone leaves.
In fact, after this, not only Kahn will leave, but everyone else will also have their own things to be busy with, and everyone will be separated for a while.
Although the war is over, the sequelae caused by the war are far from gone, such as the colonial issues mentioned by Kahn before, etc. These issues require Aang to assist the new Fire King Zuko and the Earth King to deal with them.
For Zuko personally, there are still many private matters that need to be resolved urgently, including how to deal with his sister Azula, and bringing back his mother Er Shu, etc.
Sokka and Katara will also be very busy next.
The Antarctic Water Good Tribe was nearly destroyed by the Fire Nation many years ago. Now that the war is over, their father Hakouda is the leader of the Antarctic Water Good Tribe. As the chief's children, they also have the responsibility to help their father rebuild their homeland.
Toph also has her own plan. Next, she plans to challenge Bumi, win the title of the strongest earthbending master, and then open her own earthbending gym to spread her earthbending skills.
All in all, after these days of fun, everyone will go their separate ways for the time being.
But before that, Sokka rushed to the Fire Nation's prison to rescue his girlfriend Suki. They stayed together like a pair of conjoined twins for the past few days.
Aang and Katara are no less generous. Since they both have their own missions, they will have to be separated for a while in the future, so both of them are extremely clingy during this time.
By the way, Soka accidentally caught the two of them kissing, and Soka was shocked for a long time. He didn't expect that his brother turned out to be his brother-in-law.
In addition to the young couple Zuko and Mei, there are a total of three couples in this small magical team, and the love atmosphere is so intense that it is hard to see.
Kahn, Toph, and Terri could only shiver among a group of lovers, hugging each other for warmth.
But when they thought that Kahn actually had a girlfriend, she was just not around, Toph and Terri kicked him out of the heating team and let him wander alone.
Alas, it is bitter.
Kahn sighed and went to drink tea with Uncle Ai Luo.
The few days were not short, but they were as fleeting as a fleeting moment. After the celebrations, it was finally the day of separation.
but--
"I said, there's no need for so many people to come. Don't you all have something to do?"
In front of the big banyan tree, seeing everyone staring at him, Kahn felt as if he was a monkey being visited, and said with a helpless expression.
Sokka chuckled and said:
"On the one hand, I'm giving you a ride, and on the other hand, we're quite curious about how you travel across the world."
Toph also smiled and said:
"I'm going to go find you, but of course I want to see how you do it first."
The others didn't say anything, but that's pretty much what they meant.
"Oh, it's up to you."
Kahn shook his head, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around and sat down cross-legged, entering a meditative state.
To be honest, he didn't know how to operate it, but——
'Big Banyan Tree, I have cleared up my doubts and fulfilled my agreement, so...'
Chapter completed!
