Open up and break into another world

The Star Luo Island Elders are divided into three tiers.

Below Silver Moon Rank-3 are Red-Robed Elders; Silver Moon Rank-4 to Silver Moon Rank-6 are Purple-Robed Elders; above Silver Moon Rank-7 are Gold-Robed Elders!

Gold-Robed Elders hold extremely high status within Star Luo Island!

Upon hearing of the arrival of a Gold-Robed Elder, Luo Yang and the three Luo family guests, these four Red-Robed Elders, immediately rushed out.

As Luo Yang left, he didn't forget to call out to Xu Ming: "Hurry! I'll take you to meet that Gold-Robed Elder!"

… …

At the Luo family's main entrance, Xu Ming saw the Gold-Robed Elder with an icy aura.

"Greetings, Elder Xie!" Luo Yang and the three Luo family guests respectfully bowed.

"Mm!" Elder Xie, in his golden robes, didn't even glance at Luo Yang and the others, walking inside on his own accord.

"Elder Xie!" Luo Yang pulled Xu Ming over and said with a fawning smile, "Let me introduce you, this is the Luo family's newly arrived guest; in the future, he will also be a Red-Robed Elder of Star Luo Island!"

"Oh?" Elder Xie glanced at Xu Ming and asked, "Have you met the Island Lord yet?"

Luo Yang hurriedly replied, "There hasn't been time to meet the Island Lord yet!"

Elder Xie snorted with displeasure: "Don't introduce those who haven't met the Island Lord to me in the future!"

"Yes! Yes!" Luo Yang didn't dare to retort, repeatedly agreeing.

Xu Ming was somewhat puzzled—could it be that there's a difference between having met the Island Lord and not having met the Island Lord?

During the brief exchange, the group quickly walked to the back mountain of the Luo family.

Here, there was a colorful, mottled rockery. The rocks on the rockery were formed by the essence of the five Heavenly Daos of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

"This is…?" Xu Ming was slightly puzzled.

The Gold-Robed Elder seemed to have been here many times before, saying very familiarly: "Open the treasure vault!"

"Yes!" Luo Yang didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest, directly taking out a jade talisman and imprinting several hand seals onto it.

Rumble…

The formation on the rockery slowly opened a gap.

Elder Xie directly stepped in through the gap.

Luo Yang, Xu Ming, and the others quietly followed behind.

Walking into the treasure vault, Xu Ming was directly stunned.

Inside the treasure vault, piles of divine crystals were neatly arranged, totaling more than a dozen piles. Each pile of divine crystals contained exactly ten thousand crystals.

"Damn! Luo Yang is just a small Red-Robed Elder! Yet his treasure vault actually has so many divine crystals!?" Xu Ming couldn't help but curse inwardly.

You must know that Xu Ming's current assets are only a few thousand divine crystals. Yet Luo Yang's treasure vault has more than a hundred thousand divine crystals!

Compared to Luo Yang, Xu Ming instantly became poor!

However, what Xu Ming didn't know was that the divine crystals in this treasure vault didn't actually belong to Luo Yang, but to the Star Luo King! Luo Yang was merely helping the Star Luo King manage some of the "business" on Star Luo Island. These divine crystals were all earned from the business.

Because the number of divine crystals was too large, Luo Yang didn't dare carry the divine crystals on his person, but instead stored them in the treasure vault!

"Mm! Not bad!" Elder Xie nodded with satisfaction. "It seems business has been good recently!"

"Yes!" Luo Yang said respectfully.

Elder Xie continued, "Luo Yang, you can be considered an old-timer under the Island Lord! Therefore, the Island Lord has entrusted you with quite a bit of business to manage! Do a good job, and the Island Lord won't mistreat you!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, Elder Xie waved his hand and directly collected all the hundred thousand plus divine crystals.

Xu Ming felt a pang of heartache, as if the divine crystals being taken away were his own!

At the same time, Xu Ming couldn't help but have some bad thoughts, "I wonder if I have a chance to get some divine crystals…"

Seeing Elder Xie take away the divine crystals, Luo Yang couldn't help but ask: "Elder Xie, it seems that the time you collected the divine crystals this time is earlier than usual!"

"This time, I'm not transporting the divine crystals to the Star Luo Island treasure vault!" Elder Xie said, "But the Island Lord asked me to go out and take care of something, and I don't have enough divine crystals, so I came to take some from you first!"

This Elder Xie usually mainly responsible for transporting treasures within Star Luo Island.

"Oh…" Luo Yang didn't suspect anything—because he knew that this Elder Xie, like himself, was absolutely loyal to the Island Lord and could not possibly betray the Island Lord!

The speaker didn't mean anything, but the listener took it to heart.

"This Elder Xie seems to have the authority to enter and exit the major treasure vaults of Star Luo Island?" In the depths of Xu Ming's eyes, there was a constant flicker.

This guess made Xu Ming unable to not be excited!

Soon, Xu Ming obtained the investigation results—this Gold-Robed Elder Xie could enter and exit all treasure vaults like the "Luo Family Treasure Vault"! However, he didn't have the authority to enter the "Star Luo Island Treasure Vault" directly under the Star Luo King!

Then, Xu Ming also investigated that this Elder Xie only came to the Luo Family Treasure Vault this time to take something; and he was about to leave Star Luo Island immediately to go out and take care of things! As for the treasure vaults of other families, such as the Zhang family, Huang family, Ma family, etc., Elder Xie would not be going this time!

After understanding this information, Xu Ming felt—he seemed to need to do something!

"Respectfully sending off Elder Xie!"

Xu Ming "sincerely" respectfully sent this Elder Xie away!

It was really a sincere send-off!

If it weren't for this Elder Xie, Xu Ming certainly wouldn't have known that there was such a good money-making opportunity waiting for him on Star Luo Island.

Xu Ming even couldn't help but feel grateful that Luo Yang invited him to be a guest of the Luo family. After all, if he hadn't become a guest of the Luo family, then he certainly wouldn't have seen this scene today.

"When this Elder Xie leaves Star Luo Island, it will be when my actions begin!" Xu Ming thought with a chuckle.

… …

It was night.

Inside the Luo Family Main Hall, there were only Luo Yang and Luo Junling, father and son.

"Dad, when are you going to deal with this Xu Ming?" Luo Junling couldn't help but say, "After solving Xu Ming, I must go to Jia Xiaoyan in front of that Jiu Yu!"

"Tomorrow!" Luo Yang's eyes were also incomparably gloomy, "Tomorrow, I will take him to see the Island Lord! After meeting the Island Lord, he will be the most loyal servant of my Luo family, hahahaha…"

"Hahahaha…" Luo Junling also laughed, "Just like the three Red-Robed Elders of our Luo family!—Outwardly claiming that they are guests of our Luo family; in reality, they are just three dogs of our Luo family!"

"Also!" Luo Yang added, "At that time, not only will you go to Jia Xiaoyan in front of Jiu Yu; moreover, you will also have Xu Ming, this dog, help you catch Jiu Yu!—Only then will Jiu Yu know the consequences of offending our Luo family!"

In fact, it has always been Luo Junling who has been bullying Jiu Yu; and Jiu Yu has never offended the Luo family at all.

However, in Luo Yang's eyes, as long as anyone makes him even a little unhappy, they have offended him!
