Master Kong Chan smiled gently and shook his head: "Your Majesty, what are you saying? Those who have renounced the world do not pay heed to formalities. Even if someone insults, scolds, deceives, or mocks us, in the heart of one who has renounced, it is considered commonplace!"
The Emperor asked, "Could the Master please tell clearly, among my descendants, is there one who could bring prosperity and glory to the Nanxia Dynasty, surpassing me and the ancestors?"
Since Kong Chan enjoyed speaking in riddles, saying 'the mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed' and making it impossible for him to ask further, he decided to change his way of questioning.
Kong Chan closed his eyes and pondered, not answering.
The Emperor did not urge him.
