When Mrs. Xie heard this, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
In general, if aristocratic families want to communicate over long distances, they mostly use spirit butterflies to communicate. From one city to another, they can basically make a round trip in a day.
But the Xie family has their own method of communication, which uses jade slips to transmit information in a timely manner.
If his son really wanted to send them a message, wouldn't it be much easier to just use the jade slips? Why bother the Qiu family kid making such a long trip?
But this doubt only flashed through Mrs. Xie's mind.
Hearing that his beloved son and future daughter-in-law were both injured, Qiu Changfeng's heart was in turmoil like a cattail in the wind, drifting here and there, unable to settle down. All he wanted was to rush over to save his son and daughter-in-law, and his mind was no longer as calm as usual.
Comparatively speaking, Qiu Ru, as the head of the family, was much calmer and had the same doubts as Mrs. Xie.
But despite his doubts, Xie Ruze still had no doubt about Qiu Changfeng's words.
The five major families actually have interactions with each other. Although the Xie family of Lin'an and the Qiu family of Langting are not close friends, they still exchange gifts during the major festivals every year.
Furthermore, Qiu Changfeng and Xie Beiming are of similar age and have comparable talents. People always like to compare the two of them. For this reason, Xie Ruze pays close attention to Qiu Changfeng.
In Xie Ruze's opinion, the son of the Qiu family is pretty good except for being a little confused about love affairs.
Therefore, Xie Ruze did not listen to Qiu Changfeng's words. He was even thinking that the reason why his son did not use the most convenient and simple communication jade slip, but asked the son of the Qiu family to make a trip alone, was perhaps because his son accidentally lost the communication jade slip that he always carried with him.
After all, it's from out of province, so it's not impossible that it got lost.
Just at this moment, a group of evil spirits suddenly jumped out from the bushes on both sides of the road and committed crimes. The group quickly drew their swords.
Qiu Changfeng said that there was an evil spirit ahead, which was originally just a lie, but they didn't expect that they would actually encounter the evil spirit on the way.
Especially when he discovered that these evil spirits were real evil spirits, not the ones controlled by Shen Ning'er, he was even more shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone be careful, these evil spirits seem to have problems with their fingernails, everyone be careful, don't get scratched by them!"
However, it was too late. In addition to people with high cultivation levels such as Xie Ruzhe and Qiu Xuan, their group also included family members. The cultivation levels of these members varied, and not all of them could fight against a hundred enemies.
Before Qiu Changfeng finished his words, a sharp scream rang out from the crowd. He chopped off an arm of the evil spirit with his sword, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw who was screaming, his face suddenly changed. He quickly rushed over and supported the person, calling out anxiously, "Changqing! Changqing!"
The first person to be scratched by the evil spirit was Qiu Changqing, the youngest son of Qiu Changfeng's second uncle. He had the deepest relationship with Qiu Changfeng. Since he was a child, he liked to follow Qiu Changfeng around, calling him "brother" and was very proud to have him as a brother.
At this time, Qiu Changqing's right cheek was scratched by the evil spirit. At first, it was just a long scratch. It didn't seem to be a big deal. At most, the scratch was a little deep.
However, Qiu Changqing was shaking as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife. He covered his face and screamed in pain, his whole body trembling.
When Qiu Changfeng saw him like this, his expression instantly turned cold.
Although Qiu Changqing is usually spoiled like a young man from a wealthy family, he would never be so spoiled as this.
It seems that his guess was right, there was indeed something wrong with those evil nails!
As if to confirm Qiu Changfeng's guess, just as he finished thinking this, the originally long and thin scratch on Qiu Changqing's face suddenly spread out like a spider web!
In just a few breaths, Qiu Changqing's face was covered with dense scratches, and those scratches cracked little by little like dry land, leaving blood and flesh blurred and the bones visible!
Not only on the face, but also on the neck, the back of the hands, and the arms, such strange scars can be seen on almost all the exposed skin!
As for the parts that could not be seen under the clothes, it was probably the same, because Qiu Changfeng could clearly feel that the clothes on Qiu Changqing's body were quickly becoming wet. He reached out and touched the clothes, then took them away and saw that they were covered in scarlet!
What the hell is this!
It’s so powerful!
Seeing Qiu Changqing's entire body almost turned into a pool of blood, with his facial features so hideous that he could hardly be recognized as a human, Qiu Changfeng's heart felt as if it was being tortured to death. He didn't know what to do and felt a bit helpless, so he didn't notice at all that Qiu Changqing's eyes, which were almost covered with blood, suddenly shrank, until they shrank to a tiny point smaller than a sesame seed.
And the next moment, Qiu Changqing, who was originally screaming and wailing, suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiu Changfeng who was holding him!
The nails on the hand he stretched out were curved like hooks, and the surface of the nails emitted a dark green light, which was exactly the same as those evil nails that scratched him before!
Unfortunately, Qiu Changfeng was still in grief and confusion, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Qiu Changqing, let alone Qiu Changqing who was quietly walking around behind him.
Seeing that the hand was about to pierce the back of his neck, Qiu Xuan, as a father, seemed to have sensed something and anxiously chopped off the evil head. As a result, when he turned around, he saw such a horrifying scene!
Qiu Xuan was so frightened that his eyes were about to burst out, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Changfeng! Watch your back!"
