"You want to capture them?"
The moment Song the Third heard Zhao Lin's question, he guessed his intentions.
"Exactly!"
Zhao Lin admitted it outright. "If you help me capture them, it will be considered a major meritorious service. It should reduce your sentence somewhat."
"Those few Communication Talismans you have on you... I assume they're for gathering evidence on them, right?"
"This... Fine. But you must keep your promise."
Song the Third agreed without hesitation. He was already caught, so dragging two more people down with him would actually make him feel a bit better.
"Good. It's a deal."
Zhao Lin nodded in agreement. "Tell me. How did you conspire to rob passing cultivators, and how did you split the loot? Explain the whole process clearly."
Song the Third thought for a moment, collecting his thoughts before speaking. "The first step is to pick a 'fat sheep'—usually a lone cultivator with a low cultivation level."
