76: Chapter 76 The Six Ren Divine Dice Open

"Yu Yan and her mother must have suffered some grievances; I didn't want them to say too much."

"If you want to know, you might as well ask your father and mother."

After Meng Li finished speaking, Jiang Yu Feng turned to look at Jiang Biehe and Madam Jiang Liu.

But before she could ask, Xiao Baiyan, who was beside her, suddenly said to Jiang Yuyan, "Yu Yan, let's go."

Jiang Yuyan was startled for a moment, then looked at Xiao Baiyan. Seeing the pleading look on her face, her heart softened, and she called out to Meng Li, "Husband."

Meng Li understood and left with them.

Madam Jiang Liu instinctively wanted to stop them, but was held back by Jiang Yu Feng.

Once the three of them had left, Jiang Yu Feng dismissed the Disciples and servants, then turned to Jiang Biehe and Madam Jiang Liu. "Father, Mother, what exactly is going on?"

Hearing this, Madam Jiang Liu gave a cold snort and turned to leave.

Jiang Biehe sighed. "Come inside and talk."

With that, he walked into the study.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Jiang Biehe noticed a corner of the Liu Ren Divine Dice peeking out from where it was hidden in his desk. His heart tightened instantly, and he rushed over to hide it again, but before he could finish, he was caught red-handed by Jiang Yu Feng, who had just closed the door behind her.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu Feng was a bit puzzled. "Father, what are you so hurriedly trying to hide?"

Then, she caught a clear glimpse of the Liu Ren Divine Dice and said in an uncertain tone, "A Stereoscopic Magic Cube?"

Jiang Biehe had intended to find an excuse to cover it up, but was stunned by her words. "You know about this?"

Jiang Yu Feng leaned in for a closer look and then nodded. "Although the appearance is slightly different and it's not like a conventional Stereoscopic Magic Cube, it should be one."

Jiang Biehe asked curiously, "What is a Stereoscopic Magic Cube?"

Jiang Yu Feng replied, "A Stereoscopic Magic Cube is a puzzle toy derived from magic squares. I remember playing with one at school when I was a child."

Played with one at school?

Jiang Biehe was a bit dazed. "How come I don't remember the school having such a toy?"

He had once been Jiang Feng's Study Attendant and had also sent Jiang Yu Feng to school, so he had naturally had contact with schools, though his visits were quite limited.

Jiang Yu Feng said helplessly, "I came across Stereoscopic Magic Cubes when I was studying Arithmetic; they seemed to have just appeared back then. Father, you're always running around outside and don't even know how I performed at school, so how could you notice such a small toy?"

Jiang Biehe immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

He coughed twice to cover it up and then asked, "So, what's the deal with this Stereoscopic Magic Cube?"

Jiang Yu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Simply put, it's a large cube made up of several smaller cubes. Then, depending on the content on the six faces of the large cube, it can be divided into different types. The more common ones are colors, patterns, and numbers."

After saying that, she pointed to the Liu Ren Divine Dice in Jiang Biehe's hand. "Father, the one in your hand should belong to the pattern category."

"The specific way to play is that each of the six faces has a complete pattern. You scramble it and then restore it."

Restoring the patterns on the six faces? This was exactly the method to open the Liu Ren Divine Dice!

Jiang Biehe was ecstatic and hurriedly asked expectantly, "Then, do you have a way to restore it?"

Having finished speaking, he handed over the Liu Ren Divine Dice.

Jiang Yu Feng took it, observed it carefully, and replied, "The patterns on this are a bit complex, and I haven't played with one in a long time, but... I should be able to."

Jiang Biehe immediately said excitedly, "Then hurry up and restore it. It's very important to me."

Jiang Yu Feng was puzzled. "It's just a Stereoscopic Magic Cube; what's so important about it?"

Jiang Biehe said, "Don't ask too many questions. Just hurry up and restore it."

"But weren't we going to talk about..."

"As long as you restore it, I'll tell you everything you want to know. I won't hide a thing!"

Jiang Yu Feng felt something was strange, but seeing her father's urgency and knowing that restoring a Stereoscopic Magic Cube was no big deal, she stopped asking. Instead, she looked at the Liu Ren Divine Dice in her hand, attempting to turn it while recalling the restoration tricks she had learned as a child.

Jiang Biehe watched closely from the side, his mood both excited and nervous.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Yu Feng had almost restored it, except for the final bit, which wouldn't budge no matter how she turned it.

Jiang Biehe noticed it too and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that this thing simply cannot be restored, and the creator is just fooling people?"

Jiang Yu Feng shook her head. "Impossible."

After saying that, she seemed to recall something and began pressing on the various squares of the Liu Ren Divine Dice.

Seeing her sudden change of method, Jiang Biehe couldn't help but wonder, "What are you..."

Just as he spoke, he saw a square in the middle of one face of the Liu Ren Divine Dice being pressed inward by Jiang Yu Feng. He was instantly startled. "Don't mess around!"

Jiang Yu Feng smiled. "This isn't messing around. There's a special type of Stereoscopic Magic Cube called 'Divine Dragon Swings Its Tail,' where the small cubes can be shifted out of alignment. This Stereoscopic Magic Cube was designed with that feature too."

"I think I know how to restore the final part."

After a brief explanation, she twisted the Liu Ren Divine Dice for a while and soon successfully restored the patterns on all six faces.

Then, with a soft click, the Liu Ren Divine Dice split into four, opening up like a flower.

Jiang Biehe's eyes widened instantly.

Jiang Yu Feng said in surprise, "So this thing can be opened; there's a smaller one inside."

With that, she took out the smaller Liu Ren Divine Dice from within.

As soon as the small Liu Ren Divine Dice was touched, it opened on its own, projecting a blue and white light that seemed to be forming words.

Seeing this, Jiang Biehe instantly snapped back to his senses, snatched the small Liu Ren Divine Dice from Jiang Yu Feng's hand, and closed it, causing the blue and white light to dissipate.

Afterward, he tucked away both the large and small Liu Ren Divine Dice, made a hushed sound like a thief, and glared at Jiang Yu Feng while instructing her, "Yu Feng, you must never tell anyone about this. Don't even tell your mother, or there will be immense trouble."

Seeing him so nervous, Jiang Yu Feng couldn't help but feel very curious. "Father, what exactly is this?"

Jiang Biehe avoided the subject. "Don't ask. It concerns a major matter. Once it's accomplished, I'll naturally tell you."

Having finished his instructions, he prepared to leave.

Jiang Yu Feng frowned and stopped him. "If we're not talking about the Stereoscopic Magic Cube, then what about Yu Yan's matter? You promised me just now."

Jiang Biehe thought for a moment, suppressed his urge to study the Divine Technique, sighed, and recounted the story of Yu Yan from his own biased perspective.

After listening, Jiang Yu Feng looked surprised. "So, that Yu Yan really is my younger sister?"

Jiang Biehe nodded.

"Then why did she marry Meng Li? It looks like she's just a concubine."

Jiang Biehe shook his head slightly. "I'm not clear on that either. They only came to acknowledge the relationship today, and I also just found out that Yu Yan is my daughter."

Then, as if thinking of something, he asked in return, "How do you know Meng Li?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yu Feng briefly explained how she and Meng Li had met.

Jiang Biehe finally understood and then said, "Now you know about Yu Yan's matter. If there's nothing else, go check on your mother."

"But remember, you cannot mention the matter of the Stereoscopic Magic Cube."

"Why?" Jiang Yu Feng was puzzled and then emphasized, "She is my mother and your wife. You don't even trust her?"

She's the one I need to hide it from most!

Jiang Biehe responded internally, but on the surface, he said, "It's not that I don't trust your mother, but this matter involves too much. If it leaks out, our family will face the danger of extermination. So remember, you must never, ever, ever let a third person know!"

Just as he finished speaking, Madam Jiang Liu's voice drifted in. "What exactly is it that even I cannot know?"
