Before Man Lun, the Great Emperor, had a chance to speak, San Qian clasped his fist and said, "Brother Man Lun, the disciple you brought today once offended me by stealing some of my belongings at Changkong Wo. I will not let this matter rest today; I must take him back to Changkong Wo for identification. If I have caused any offense, I am willing to visit afterward to apologize."
As soon as San Qian's words came out, the people around were stunned. His words made it clear that he would not accept any intercession from Man Lun, even if Man Lun pleaded, San Qian would not relent. It appeared that the disciple Man Lun, the Great Emperor, brought had indeed committed a no small offense to have angered the ruthless San Qian.
