After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 608 The Color-Changing Eyes, the Gray-Robed Man's Transformation

After agreeing on the arrangements for Song Ciyuan to bring the blind man from the capital to Queshan as soon as possible, Li Chengxiao decisively hung up the phone and started the car.

What do you need the blind man's eyes for?

Jiang Hanying was certain that her cheap master would not have made such a request without a reason.

"Didn't the gray-robed man secretly go out? Xiao Wu and the men he sent out followed his trail three times, but they lost him each time."

Jiang Hanying had known Xiao Wu for some time and highly regarded his abilities.

I imagine the people under his command are probably not too weak either.

How could they possibly lose track of them!
How did you lose them?

"Their pursuit of the gray-robed figure was always interrupted by unexpected events."

"Did the grey-robed man detect that they were following him and create this obstacle to hinder them?"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be."

Jiang Hanying couldn't help but sigh softly, "Aside from the fact that it consumes a lot of life force when injured, it really doesn't have any other flaws."

Then a thought struck him: "Why don't I give it a try?"

"No need, let's wait for the blind man to arrive and verify my guess first."

"OK then."

Upon arriving home, Li Chengxiao went straight into the kitchen to get busy.

After picking Jiang Hanying up from get off work, he started cooking rice, stewing whatever needed to be stewed, and preparing all the ingredients that needed to be stir-fried in advance.

The rice is almost cooked, and the kelp and pork rib stew in the casserole is almost done. We just need to stir-fry two more dishes and dinner will be ready.

The timing was perfect.

Jiang Hanying first followed Li Chengxiao into the kitchen for a stroll, looked at the dishes for tonight, and was then kicked out of the kitchen by Li Chengxiao before she was about to start cooking, because of the fumes.

So she strolled all the way to the backyard.

The stone fetus, now resembling a five or six-year-old child, was lying on its side on a large rock with its eyes closed as if it were sleeping. However, whenever there was any movement, the little one would open its eyes and look over, then sit up cross-legged.

Jiang Hanying walked up to him, skillfully reached into her pocket, pulled out a lollipop, and handed it to him.

Shi Tai reached out and took it, skillfully tearing open the packaging and tossing it into the trash can next to the stone. He then opened his mouth and put the lollipop in, his cheek immediately puffing out.

Jiang Hanying mischievously stretched out a finger and pressed it, then glanced at the back of his hand that was holding the lollipop.

The blue dot seemed to sense that she was looking over and suddenly flickered.

The gray-robed man, who had been sitting cross-legged beside the tree trunk like a wooden stake, also moved slightly, raising his head a little.

Although his eyes were hidden by the brim of his hat, Jiang Hanying was certain that the guy was looking at her.

She immediately gave a light, annoyed snort: "What are you looking at me for?"

The other party remained silent, but did not look away.

Jiang Hanying narrowed her eyes and threatened, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

This time, she tilted her head slightly, but quickly brought her gaze back.

Jiang Hanying stepped forward and yanked the hat off his head, then looked down and met a pair of grey-blue eyes. Wait, grey-blue!
Wasn't it brownish-red before?
As if sensing her thoughts, the gray-robed figure blinked, and when it opened its eyes again, its pupils were the same brown as before.

But Jiang Hanying was certain that she hadn't been seeing things.

"Instructor, come quick!"

Hearing the shouts coming from the backyard, Li Chengxiao turned off the gas stove and hurried to the backyard without even taking off his apron.

When they arrived, they saw that Jiang Hanying was still clutching the hood of her gray robe with one hand.

“I just discovered that this guy’s eye color can change.” Jiang Hanying told her what she had discovered as soon as her cheap master came over. After speaking, she lowered her head and patted the gray-robed man’s face with her other hand, her tone threatening, “Try changing it back and I’ll see.”

Gray-robed man: "No."

"Can you say that again?"

Li Chengxiao walked up to him, glanced at the gray-robed man's eyes, and then freed him from Jiang Hanying's grasp. "He really doesn't know how."

"What just happened..."

"That's not something he can decide."

“Then he…” Jiang Hanying suddenly looked at the dormant blue light spot on the back of Shi Tai’s hand, “was it him who did this?”

"Okay, the food is ready. Let's go eat in the front."

Jiang Hanying patted the little stone fetus's head, which was still quietly eating a lollipop, and was led back to the front yard by its cheap owner.

Upon seeing the steaming, delicious-looking food laid out on the table, I immediately forgot about my earlier discovery.

The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!
She also felt that her cheap owner's cooking was getting better and better.

What do you call that? That's called talent!
She wasn't jealous at all, since she was the one who benefited!
After dinner, the two went to feed the big black horse in the neighboring yard.

Of course, it was mainly Li Chengxiao who was feeding them, while Jiang Hanying was eating an apple next to her. When she saw the big black horse looking over expectantly, she casually broke off a small piece and fed it to him.

Jiang Hanying fed the apple core to the big black horse that didn't seem to mind at all. She tilted her head and looked at her cheap owner who was still preparing food next to her. "Did you already know that He was secretly playing tricks?"

She's been busy filming lately, and if there's a long night shoot, she just stays in a hotel. She doesn't spend much time at home, and eating and sleeping take up most of her time.

The person in front of her spends much more time at home than she does.

Li Chengxiao poured the prepared food into the trough in front of the black horse, then turned on the tap above the water trough next to it, added some syrup to the trough, and nodded while stirring, "The gray-robed man has changed a bit since the first time we met him, have you noticed?"

Jiang Hanying thought for a moment and nodded, "When we first met him, he seemed like a puppet. Now, he's starting to look more like a human."

“We’ve all speculated that he used to live in an environment where he didn’t need to have his own thoughts or communicate with others, but things are different now. He’s come into contact with other people, and communication is in his nature. His self-awareness is awakening, but that also means he could get out of control at any time.”

“That guy only has this one person he can control left, so he definitely doesn’t want to let him escape.” Thinking of the look he gave her when he still had those gray-blue eyes, and the disgust she felt back then, a possibility suddenly popped into Jiang Hanying’s mind: “Could it be that he can temporarily control the gray-robed man’s body now?”

"Do you remember that He once admitted that the Grey Robe was his son?"

Jiang Hanying nodded and gave a soft "hmm." This was the question she had blurted out after seeing the man in the gray robe.

“Son, it can also be understood as possession. The existence of the gray robe originated from Him. From the very beginning, when He created the gray robe, He must have prepared a backup plan.”

“This is indeed something He can do.”

“Now that the gray-robed one may be out of His control, this backup plan has no choice but to be revealed.” Li Chengxiao rinsed his hands under the running water, turned off the tap, grabbed a towel from the side to dry his hands, and then took Jiang Hanying’s hand. “We’re not the ones who need to rush right now. Let’s just wait and see.”
