As part of creating the 'perfect' timeline at the end, Sly tries to partly derail the Fiendish Five. Clockwerk has to attack, but if his allies are weakened...
As part of this, he intercepts the Panda King, and basically explains about Jing and Tsao. Desperate yet earnest, and it's enough to convince him.
"I will investigate your claims. If you have spoken false, the full fury of my Flame-Fu shall fall upon you, raccoon...but if you have spoken true, then I will repay the honor-debt I owe you."
And he leaves.
Fast forward to the final timeline. As Sly's getting his bearings, a door slams open to reveal the Panda King...
"COOPER! My friend, I did not realize you had returned to down!" Immediately grabbing Sly in a bear-hug. (Now, picture Sly's expression....)
