"So Lotus Prince... What exactly do you mean by 'You want to talk about the Jade Emperor's power'?" Azured asked Nezha as they both continued to remain seated with there legs crossed "The power of the Jade Emperor is great, and far too strong if you just take it unprepared. However, I will help you with understanding the power if the Jade Emperor, but I won't always be there. The celestial realm do not know I am helping you. Doing this is treason alone." Nezha explained, crossing his arms over his chest closing his eyes. His expression never changing, always remaining calm and relaxed.
Having telling Azure what he was told Azure took a long minute to respond, contemplating what the Lotus Prince told, "And what's in it for me? If I accept your help, what is in it for me?" Azure asked him feeling sceptical that Nezha - The Third Lotus Prince, would help him, Azure had so many questions on Nezha change of heart one of the most prominent one that kept entering his mind was 'Why?'. "In return of my help. I will help you strike down the Sun Wukong, The Monkey King." Nezha then said his end of requesting for Azure's assistance. Azure went side eyed at Nezha's words, out of everyone he knew that disliked the Monkey King the one he least expected to actively try and take him down was standing right in front of him.

The explanation that Nezha Gave of the Jade Emperor's power was long, even when Nezha left out some details of it "So, You're now helping me become the Jade emperor and take down Sun Wukong?" Azure asked him "... Precisely." Nezha said, his voice lowering and becoming one filled with malice and the need for revenge on the Monkey King, revenge Nezha believes Wukong deserves after everything he put Nezha through. Azure would be a great asset, however, he is unsure about his brothers when they would be released from the scroll, but he woud worry about that for when they would be set free, for now all he had to do, is remain on Azure good side and not let him hint a any sign that Nezha might be double crossing or deceiving him, the last thing he wanted to do was to be trapped within the scroll himself.
Even still.... He doesn't know what Azure is thinking or even if he is untrusting of the Lotus Prince, which he can understand, after all, the last time they saw each other, they were battling in heaven so many years ago. "Come forth Lotus Prince, let's leave here and go to the camel ridge, we can talk more there." Azure suggested to him, Nezha said nothing but nodded in the end.
Once they both had arrived to the camel ridge, they began talk, "So... Why have you decided to betray the bureaucracy of heaven?" Azure asked him Nezha's eye twitched at the question but he answered the question regardless "I have come to realise that the Jade Emperor may not be all he seems, all he does is sit on his throne, he may be responsible of keeping the universe in tact but he doesn't do anything to help the mortals." Nezha explained to him, Azure smirked at his response, chuckling lightly "The Jade Emperor only cares for himself, but I must ask, why have a sudden need to bring Sun Wukong pain? What does he have to do with it?" Azure then asked Nezhas face became sour and spiteful "That is m own personal grudge against him. I know you hate him as well so might as well take him out... Together." The smirk that Nezha wore when we spoke was one full of malice he dreamed of nothing more of wanting Monkey King to be gone. Weather that meant he he would be trapped in some sort of prison...
...Or dead...
"So Lotus Prince, shall we begin to plan on how to take down the Monkey King?" Azure spoke, not trusting Nezha fully, but he is willing to work with him.
For now anyway.
