Li Pan quickly beckoned his younger brother over, making a series of gestures with animated hand and foot movements, as if miming, signaling him to stealthily follow Shiranui Muko and keep an eye on what the Imperial Court Ninja were plotting, and then to come back and inform him in a timely manner...
His brother indicated that he didn't understand and simply extended his hand, pulling out Li Pan's soul and asking,
"Big brother, what are you trying to do?"
Li Pan looked down at his hands, which appeared to be made of mist, only to see his body resembling a fleeting shadow on the water.
Turning his head, he saw his body slowly sinking underwater, a golden chain visible—one end extending from his chest, the other end connected to the forehead of his physical body.
Damn, a soul extraction technique had been used on me...
But this could work too, I suppose.
