Once Nezha had finished his little conversation with Azure, the Lotus Prince had bid his farewell to Yellow Tusk, and didn't even bother wasting his breath with Peng, which they took to great offence to, Yellow Tusk grabbed onto Peng's shoulder to hold them back and shook his head, telling him non verbally to not pounce on Nezha, as he is already very injured as he sent himself back down to the mortal realm.

Once arriving back in the mortal realm, despite wanting to just crash down and sleep, he couldn't let Wukong out now, he couldn't risk Azure coming down with brotherhood and attacking, or them going up to the celestial realm, and he knew that Tang had it, but he didn't know where he would be, or where he even lives. So for now, he decided to let it go. He was too tired and too weak to search for him.

Nezha seen that the door to Wukong house was still open, he cautiously limped into the house, feeling tired from the day and looked around, only seeing a pillow and a blanket on the empty couch "I'm guessing Macaque is taking Wukong's bed." Nezha thought as he walked over and sat down on the couch.

He just sat there, staring into space for a few minutes but one question ran rampant in his mind. Did Macaque take a peak outside and see that he was not where he was sitting previously? Nezha didn't know Macaque as well or as long as he knew Wukong. He couldn't properly calculate how he would act, Nezha knew that Macaque was a skilled fighter with him fighting against heaven with Wukong, Bull King and the brotherhood all those years ago, but personality wise, Nezha did not know.

Nezha put the pillow against one of the arms of the couch fluffing it up a bit as he did, afterwards he took the blanket in his hand and did his best to lay it on the couch without accidently opening a stitch, it wasn't perfect, far from being neat but it would do for the night. Nezha, after taking out the ribbons that made his iconic hairstyle, lied down on the couch with the blanket over him and easily fell asleep.

When he woke in the morning, he heard loud chatter coming from outside, sitting up to look at the door Nezha had left open the night before. Eventually standing up having to use the arm of the couch for support. Walking towards the door, they seemed to be in a panic and surrounding Tang. Nezha was confused at what was going on and walked down the two stairs and stayed a few feet away from the group.

"The scroll piece was stolen last night, they don't know by who but my guess is going to be Peng." Macaque said standing next to him, Nezha was silent for a minute as he felt annoyed by it, though Nezha and Peng were on the right wave length with stealing the scroll piece that Wukong was trapped in, while Peng would take it back to the celestial realm and mostly likely to Azure, Nezha was planning to keep it with him until he knew it was safe to return it to Mk and the others, now that was ruined unless he could somehow get it away from Azure or Peng, which would be imposible with either of them.

Peng doesn't trust Nezha they wouldn't give him the scroll at all, and Azure was trusting towards him, Nezha was certain he didn't trust him enough with the scroll of memory. He had to be quick to find a way to get it back.
