Situ Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Hongqing, I heard that you once appeared before the Tang King and stopped the Tang Dynasty from destroying Buddhism in Shu County, is that correct?"
"Yes, that's true." Fang Jian said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao immediately said, "Could you please trouble Master Hongqing once more to persuade the Tang Emperor to cancel his military campaign against Nanzhao, Siam, and Jiaozhi? The three kingdoms are willing to submit a petition pledging eternal tribute and homage to the Tang Dynasty."
Fang Jian's expression froze slightly when he heard this, and then he said calmly, "Master Situ, you've got the wrong person for this."
After saying that, Fang Jian stood up and said to Situ Yao, "I am a celestial official from the Heavenly Court and will never interfere in the affairs of the human world."
"This..." Situ Yao also stood up and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "Since Master Hongqing can persuade the Tang King to stop destroying Buddhism, he can definitely persuade the Tang King to stop using military force against the three Nanzhao Kingdoms and save the people of Nanzhao, Jiaozhi, and Siam from the dire situation. This is also...

At this point, Situ Yao added, "If Master Hongqing can stop the Tang Dynasty from using military force against the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms will worship Master Hongqing as their chief deity and preach Master Hongqing's teachings throughout the country to save the people."

After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and left, and in just a few steps he had walked out of the Moon-Raising Pavilion.
"Master Hongqing!"
"Master Hongqing!"
Situ Yao hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Master Hongqing, please stay!"
Fang Jian paused, then turned to look at Situ Yao and said, "Master Situ, I have something to advise you."
Situ Yao was stunned and stopped to look at Fang Jian.
Fang Jian bowed to Situ Yao and said, "Master Situ, as a Golden Immortal cultivator and a great Taoist, you must not be swayed by your children's personal feelings! Otherwise, you will lose your sense of propriety and end up hurting yourself and others."
"That's all I have to say. Goodbye."
After Fang Jian finished speaking, he turned around, put his hands behind his back and left the Moon-Raising Pavilion, then walked out of the Moon Gate of the Mountain Courtyard where the Moon-Raising Pavilion was located.
Situ Yao stood blankly under the Moon-Raising Pavilion, with a look of disappointment on his face, staring blankly at Fang Jian's departing back.
