Chapter 19
The Way of the Sage, Chen Fan's Plan!

“Xiao Fan, I can’t do it, you have to come!”

Hearing the village chief’s plea, Chen Fan helplessly patted his forehead.

This broken village, without me it’s going to be ruined sooner or later.

Chen Fan gave the village chief a disappointed look, then glanced at the group of ferocious river demons.

He fell silent for a moment, then turned to Zhang Tian Shou, his voice heavy as he spoke.

“Tian Shou, you want to learn something from me, right?

Control these river demons, can you handle it?”

Hearing Chen Fan’s serious words, a hint of joy appeared on Zhang Tian Shou’s face.

Why do so many immortals, deities and demons, all want to follow human saints?

Isn’t it because by following a human saint, as long as they contribute to humanity,

when the saint ascends to the Fire Cloud Cave, they will receive rewards from the Human Dao.

Moreover, during this time, if the saint's actions align with the operation of the Heavenly Dao,

there will be a massive amount of merit and fortune descending upon them.

Now, Chen Fan entrusting this matter to her, this not only shows that Chen Fan has accepted her.

But he is also gifting Zhang Tian Shou merit and fortune.

“Really? Thank you, sir!”

Zhang Tian Shou’s eyes were filled with surprise, who would have thought that just coming down here for a stroll,

she would receive such a great opportunity.

Although as a princess of the Heavenly Court, Zhang Tian Shou didn’t lack opportunities.

But those heavenly treasures from the Heavenly Court, how could they compare to merit and fortune.

“Congratulations, big sister!”

Zhang Tian Xian was also happy for Zhang Tian Shou, congratulating her.

Then, Zhang Tian Xian’s eyes rolled around, and he suddenly pulled Zhang Tian Shou aside and whispered to her.

“Big sister, this Mr. Zhang, wouldn’t he really have fallen for you?”

“What are you talking about!”

Zhang Tian Shou’s expression changed, and she reprimanded Zhang Tian Xian.

But Zhang Tian Xian saw that Zhang Tian Shou’s ears turned a rosy red.

“How could there not be, Big Sister, you are incredibly beautiful, who wouldn’t be smitten?

And, what Da Zhuang and the two brothers said just now, don’t tell me you didn’t hear it!”

Zhang Tian Xian joked, Zhang Tian Shou's cheeks visibly reddened.

Chen Fan saw that Zhang Tian Shou agreed, but she still hadn't come over.

He was a little confused and strode over.

Well, that's it, definitely not because the village chief brought a bunch of river demons over.

“Big sister, come on, your teacher is here!”

Zhang Tian Xian grabbed Zhang Tian Shou's back with both hands, pushing her forward.

“Tian Shou, what’s going on here?”

“Mr. Chen, my sister has something to tell you, right, big sister!”

Zhang Tian Xian poked his head out from behind Zhang Tian Shou, smiling mischievously.

Zhang Tian Shou swatted Zhang Tian Xian with a good-natured slap, dragging him out.

“Go, teach those river demons some rules, when Xiao Qi returns, let her help you manage them!”

Zhang Tian Shou was not one to take all the benefits for herself, so she immediately gave her share to her sister.

Chen Fan naturally had no objections, it wasn’t his job to manage anyway.

At first, to make these river demons follow the rules, relying solely on benefits wouldn’t be enough.

Demons and monsters are awed by power, but they don't have a sense of morality, someone needs to be able to suppress them.

Later on, after the rules are established,

it will be much easier to recruit other demons.

Because by then, these river demons will have adapted to the rules, they will be the beneficiaries.

They will naturally take the initiative to maintain the rules of Zhaojia Village.

“Since the Fifth Miss is willing, then I would be honored to accept her offer.

Tian Shou, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Chen Fan nodded, Zhang Tian Xian stepped out from behind Zhang Tian Shou.

He gave Zhang Tian Shou a look of approval, Zhang Tian Xian smiled at Chen Fan with his eyebrows raised.

“Sir, please just call me Tian Xian!”

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Tian Xian, puzzled. He felt that Zhang Tian Xian had suddenly become much closer to him.

The next moment, a green cloud sleeve flew out, suspending two water demons.

“Shut up, ten mu of land for a thread of incense, that’s the price.

Anyone who dares to object, I’ll throw them in a pot and boil them!”

As Zhang Tian Xian blew up, the group of river demons immediately quieted down.

Chen Fan saw Zhang Tian Xian controlling the situation, the village chief finally began to play his role.

Seeing everything proceeding according to his plan, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, asking.

“Tian Shou, what is it?”

Zhang Tian Shou had calmed down by now, twirling a strand of her hair with one finger, she spoke softly.

“Sir, I don’t think the river god will stay honest!

And, the river god swallows all the incense from the transactions, the little demons don’t get anything.

If this continues, I’m afraid this transaction won’t be able to go on!”

Zhang Tian Shou furrowed her brow, expressing her concern.

The path of a human saint is good, but it’s not necessarily guaranteed to succeed.

If Chen Fan's scheme fails, then whatever benefits he received from the Heavenly Dao and Human Dao,

he will have to endure great backlash afterwards.

However, Chen Fan just showed a hint of a triumphant smile, mysteriously saying.

“If he cooperates honestly, even if he splits the profits with the little demons.

That would be a bad thing, Tian Shou, you have to know, sometimes bad guys have their uses!”

Chen Fan thought to himself, if the river god didn’t suppress the little demons like this.

The little demons would become dissatisfied, making it easier to draw in external forces!

Only with various forces mutually restraining each other, could he become the object of their contention.

Rather than trying to secretly take him down, and then monopolizing all the benefits!

“What do you mean?”
