A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

Will he give you the defense map?

Rong Qi'an leaned against the door frame, watching Cheng Jitang and Cheng Jiajia's carriage gradually disappear into the distance, while asking Lu Zhaoran a question.

"He can."

"So confident?"

“He understands the city lord better than I do, and he cares far more about the life and death of Luoque City than I do. He says he doesn’t believe it, but he has already made up his mind.”

Cheng Jitang cared more than she did.

Lu Zhaoran admitted that she stayed not entirely to save people; she had her own selfish motives. For that faint hope in her heart, she wanted to take a gamble and bet that "she" would appear.

Selfish motives aside, she certainly did plenty of good deeds. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions, and by intentions, no one in the world is perfect. As long as her actions are within the bounds of law and above morality, then she is a good person, a paragon of virtue.

She dislikes internal conflicts. If someone asks her if her act of saving people was driven by selfish motives or pure goodwill, she will definitely answer: yes.

After saying that, Lu Zhaoran walked out of the courtyard and came to the alley entrance. Looking at the bustling main street, he couldn't help but sigh, "He built this Luoque City very well."

"It's very good."

Rong Qi'an looked at the bustling city with her.

"follow me."

Rong Qi'an suddenly grabbed her hand, intending to pull her away, but his strength was too weak for Lu Zhaoran. He couldn't pull her away and instead bounced himself off balance.

"Where?"

Lu Zhaoran looked at him with a puzzled expression, and before he could explain himself, he tried to pull her away.

Rong Qi'an: "Go shopping."

Lu Zhaoran: "Going shopping?"

"You stay indoors all day, sending me out to explore Luoque City. How can you truly understand this city just by relying on the maps I gave you? Knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial; true understanding comes from practice. You should go out and see for yourself."

Lu Zhaoran nodded. She had been thinking about this before, but she had been too busy these past few days and hadn't had any free time. Now that she didn't have anything urgent to do, she really should go and have a look around.

"Let's go, you lead the way."

…………

"Girl, buy a silk flower. You're so pretty, you're perfect for wearing flowers."

"no thank you."

"purchase."

……

"Young lady, would you like to buy a porcelain figurine? Look how much this little figure resembles you, it's truly a coincidence."

"no thank you."

"purchase."

……

"Young lady, would you like to buy mooncakes?"

"no thank you."

"purchase."

……

"Miss, would you like a bowl of rice noodles? Freshly made, smooth and chewy!"

"no thank you."

"Yes, wait, no, not yet."

…………

Why did you bring me to this bustling city center?

This guy actually brought her shopping after saying he wanted to. For some reason, the city was much more bustling than usual today. Lu Zhaoran couldn't stand the crowds and noise, so she shook off Rong Qi'an's hand and found a quiet place to catch her breath.

Rong Qi'an slowly walked over carrying a bunch of things. Lu Zhaoran prefers quiet, so it was really not easy for him to drag her around for so long today.

"Sister, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You've been working so hard, it's time to give yourself a day off. Let's buy these things and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."

Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't know there was this festival here too. I wonder if it has the same meaning as in her original world.

She remembered that the first holiday she spent with Lu An was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Also, has this kid changed his ways? Why is he suddenly calling her "sister"? He always has that same face on his face, this is really strange.

Lu Zhaoran stared at Rong Qi'an's face. To be honest, this face was only similar to Lu An's. The face in front of him was more exquisite and outstanding. If Lu An had a face that was easy to overlook at first glance, then Rong Qi'an was completely different. His face was very conspicuous.

The Creator is truly amazing. Despite such a vast difference in appearance, for some reason, he and Lu An are remarkably similar.

"Lu Zhaoran?"

Seeing that she was staring intently at his face, Rong Qi'an felt a little uncomfortable, so he called out to her.

"Let's go back and buy some more lanterns. We'll celebrate the festival together tonight."

…………

"Sisters, you're back! Hey? Why did you buy so much stuff?"

Tao Ning looked at Rong Qi'an behind Lu Zhaoran, who was carrying a lot of things like a beast of burden, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a common custom in Luoque City, which symbolizes family reunion. Let's make something delicious tonight and celebrate together."

"Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion, is truly a wonderful holiday. Brother Qi'an, move the things here, I'll go and call the others out so we can prepare together."

Tao Ning had never heard of this festival before, but Lu Zhaoran's explanation made her very interested in it.

May the whole family be reunited.

This time, the reunion was no longer just between her and her brother.

Looking at their excited expressions, Lu Zhaoran couldn't help but think of the group of children in another world, with whom he had spent many holidays together.

Her childhood was incomplete. After her parents died, her life went from heaven to hell. When she was down on her luck, everyone isolated and bullied her, so she got used to being alone. Later, after she came to power, she was too ruthless in her actions, had a withdrawn personality, and an unpredictable temper. People were afraid of her, so she was still alone.

Until... the arrival of 250, which opened up a wonderful time travel for her. Childlike innocence, friendship, family, passion, growth... all the things she lacked in the past seemed to be slowly made up for from that moment on.

…………

With everyone working together, they hung bright red lanterns inside and outside the courtyard. As night slowly fell, the bright moon high in the sky began to peek out.

The group of children were playing and frolicking in the yard, having a great time.

The moon of today is not the moon of old, yet the moon of today once shone on the ancients. On Earth, people would gaze at the moon when they missed their loved ones, because no matter where they were, they all looked at the same moon. But now, here she is, and it's not just space that has changed, but time as well. Are she and her friends still looking at the same moon?

"Yue...this mooncake...ugh..."

Xiaoqi ate a mooncake and then suddenly vomited.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiaoqi?"

Tao Ning patted Xiao Qi, who was squatting on the ground, worriedly. He looked really uncomfortable. Could it be that the mooncake was poisoned?

"This mooncake is...it tastes awful...who's trying to kill me?"

After a moment of calm, Xiaoqi slowly said a sentence.

"Murder? No way, some of these mooncakes were bought by my sister and brother Qi'an, and some were made by everyone together, how could this be..."

Tao Ning scratched her head; she didn't know what was going on either.

"You'll have to ask your brother Qi'an about that~ It might be hard to tell who's who among ours, but you can recognize his at a glance. The ugliest one is definitely it."

Tao Jing watched with schadenfreude. He and Rong Qi'an were making theirs together. Since they didn't buy any molds, they all just improvised by hand, adding cute designs as they pleased. But Rong Qi'an's was truly unbearable to look at.

Not only are they that ugly, but they also eat so...

"Rong... Qi An."

Xiao Qi glared at Rong Qi'an through gritted teeth.

This mooncake is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my life. How could anyone make food taste so awful?

After taking a bite of the mooncake he made, Rong Qi'an suddenly stopped, then took out a handkerchief and spat the mooncake out of his mouth.

"Pfft! Hahahaha—"

Tao Jing, who was standing nearby, saw this small gesture clearly and immediately mocked him mercilessly.

……

"Where's Xingchen?" Lu Zhaoran noticed that he hadn't seen Xingchen at all.

"Oh, Sister Xingchen said she doesn't like celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I didn't bother her anymore."

Tao Ning had previously tried to call Xing Chen, but Xing Chen refused outright.

"You guys keep playing, I'm going to check on her."

Lu Zhaoran knew that her emotions had been fluctuating these past few days and was afraid that something had happened to her.

……

"May I come in?"

"elder sister……"

Xingchen got up and opened the door for Lu Zhaoran when she heard her voice.

"Want to try some mooncakes? I made them, they taste pretty good."

Lu Zhaoran placed the small dish in his hand on the small table and beckoned Xingchen to come and try it.

As Xingchen watched Lu Zhaoran's retreating figure, she felt that Lu Zhaoran was becoming increasingly blurry, and her heart suddenly panicked.

It turned out to be tears. Xingchen touched the corner of her eye.

My sister is right here, how could she leave?

"elder sister……"

Xingchen quickly went over and hugged Lu Zhaoran's waist. She was so silly. How could she hate the Mid-Autumn Festival? With her sister around, she felt reborn and had a home.

Things have changed, and she can no longer feel at home in her hometown. As long as she holds Lu Zhaoran, she can feel the feeling of home.

……

"Sister, the city lord of Luoque City has changed. It should be said that the upper echelons of Luoque City have undergone a major reshuffle. In the game of fairies killing fairies, the lives of mortals are like ants. Even the Grand Minister who holds real power, the previous city lord of Luoque City was named Luo Que, and the previous Grand Minister... was my mother."
