He smooths the paper down. Then he holds his hand out, reaching out to hold his sleeve back as if to write. Only...he didn't pick up the brush or dip anything in the ink that was nearby.
Instead, he held out his index finger, letting some spiritual energy gather at the tip. Then he pressed it to the paper and wrote with quick, careful strokes, using the slight trail of glowing spiritual energy as a guide for where the different strokes lay, trying to get it correct but also get it done before it disappeared.
At the end, the glow faded and what appeared to be plain white paper remained, but there were residual trails there if one were to look for them.
He rotates the paper so that it would be oriented correctly for Xiao Xingchen.]
