Chapter 473 Thunder in Midsummer (I)
The conversation between Lin Luoran and Nolan Mancia is not tense as Lin images.

Lin Luoran thinks about it for a while. Her only place in Maple Leaf City is just the barbecue restaurant. She decides to meet Nolan Mancia at night.

It is midnight when Nolan Mancia comes, half an hour before the closing of the barbecue restaurant. Derek returns to Susan Bistro. There are only Lin Luoran in the yard and a few little robots working hard to wipe the oil in the restaurant.

There is a small square table under the oak tree. Derek has been taking care of the flower garden recently. This red-haired boy transplanted many lisianthus flowers from Susan Bistro. The blue and white color adds a touch of grace to the night view of the small courtyard.

The Milky Way is a long and white river if people look at it from the Earth. Now Lin is in Nami Star, a different location in the Galaxy. She looks at the Milky Way with hundreds of millions of stars and it looks like a flat hairtail.

Nolan Mancia makes the wind chime hanging on the door ring when she comes in. Nami Star has four satellites. The moonlight is lovely. Nolan Mancia looks up and sees Lin Luoran drinking alone under the tree.

Nolan Mancia doesn’t remember her. However, watching her coughing from time to time, Nolan Mancia still feels uncomfortable.

“Here you are.”

Lin Luoran pours a glass of spirit wine for her. It is different from her usual drink, which is brewed with “raspberries”. Unlike other precious fruit, this is wild fruit that grows all over mountains and looks like mulberry. She can’t remember when she transplanted a raspberry into space. Now the earth’s environment has changed drastically. She can no longer taste this original wild fruit in other places. During the six months of interstellar drifting, she also brewed a few jars.

Nolan Mancia tastes it. The wine tastes a bit sour. Her whole body gets warm after drinking it. This level of spirit wine definitely can’t enhance the personal ability for cultivators in the Bearing Essence period. What Nolan Mancia cares about is its taste which makes her feel familiar.

This feeling is just as Lin Luoran in front of her who Nolan Mancia clearly has no impression in her memory. However, when Lin Luoran left with embarrassment and loss, Nolan Mancia still had a feeling that she is not a stranger.

Since she waked in the center of the tree, she has only felt this way once in more than ninety years. It’s her adoptive mother’s death.

This female cultivator must be a very important person to her in the past.

Nolan Mancia drinks and looks at Lin Luoran casually. She has the same black hair and dark eyes like her. Her face is abnormally pale in the moonlight and she is seriously injured.

Nolan Mancia reflexively wants to lose her temper. She hasn’t vented her anger and remembers her own position. At last, her anger becomes concerned, “I… your friend who looks like me… what kind of person she was?”

What kind of person?

Qin Baojia was as proud as a phoenix. She had a good background and a good appearance. Her temper was even more upright than any man.

When she hated someone, no matter who that person was, she could express her feelings all at once.

When she liked someone, no matter who that person was, she could make him a close friend.

Baojia was like a flame and sparkling diamond, living in the most golden years. It is destined that anyone who sees her long and narrow eyes will never forget the light in them.

Baojia hated injustice like poison. She was straight-forward and only knew to confront people fair and square. She also enjoyed crowds, not like Nolan Mancia in front of her now. Nolan Mancia can live an almost reclusive life in the valley for decades. She can watch Duke Chiao cheating a marriage and she can even help him.

“You are not her. No need to ask.”

Nolan Mancia doesn’t expect that Lin Luoran’s attitude has totally changed. Before that, Lin Luoran has always shown a desire to make Nolan Mancia recognize her and wanted her to remember her history. Why does this woman keep silent when she takes the initiative in bringing up the topic?

Nolan Mancia is a little annoyed. She feels that Lin Luoran has a weird temper and she wants to walk away. Then she remembers why she is here, “Well, for the Hidal family’s stuff, I won’t care about it in the future. This Nami Star has been a mess recently and I will take Chiao away for a period of time.”

Lin Luoran is finally willing to look up, “Where do you want to go?”

They have been separated for more than 300 years. Even though they are embarrassed to see each other at this moment, Lin Luoran still can’t accept that “Baojia” will disappear again.

Nolan Mancia drinks up the spirit wine in her glass and her cheeks are flushed, “I don’t know. The interstellar is spacious. Maybe I will find a wild star for meditation or an alliance with a higher civilization.”

Lin Luoran bows her head and says nothing. It’s so long that Nolan Mancia almost thinks she is badly injured and fainted. Finally, she hears her soft voice, “Will you consider going back to the Earth? I didn’t want to say this. However, if there were no accidents when the big change happened, there should be some descendants of your family. ”

The son of Lu Sanchun named “Qin Nian”… in Huaxia’s concept of the clan, since he had adopted the surname, it is not surprising that the Qin family has descendants.

Nolan Mancia is silent and tensed.

There is a voice clamoring for her to find her history. However, there is another power that is like a wall blocking her from searching for the truth. It is the subconscious resistance to the history of her new personality. She is afraid that one day, she suddenly realizes the life she has spent over 90 years after waking up is just a falsehood that shouldn’t be there.

“You… why don’t you understand my words? Although your friend and I look similar, we are not the same person… By the way, what is your friend’s last name?”

“Her surname was Qin, Q-I-N.”

Nolan Mancia nods, “Then we can say goodbye now. When I get bored with my interstellar journey, maybe I will consider your suggestion.”

“Goodbye, Ms. Nolan Mancia. It’s really nice to meet you. ”

Nolan Mancia turns around. Lin Luoran seems to really mean it, which makes her think that something is wrong with Lin’s brain.

Nolan Mancia wounded her seriously in the valley and they fought to the death in front of the castle. “Nice to meet you?” …They must really have a good relationship in the past. Nolan Mancia takes a deep look at Lin Luoran and says “Qin” several times in her heart. It’s really a beautiful surname.

Maybe she should go to the earth.

Lin Luoran doesn’t stop Nolan Mancia from leaving. She even feels a little happy. She just has a damn instinct that she will see Baojia again when she returns to Earth.

Baojia seems to have completely forgotten the past. However, Lin Luoran is very familiar with those small habits and her petty actions when she is false of heart. For Lin, even though they are in opposite positions and stabbed each other, she can feel that Baojia is still alive when she sees those petty actions.

Even sisters may fight. How can people always stay healthy? Lin Luoran should let go and thinks her friend is “sick” now.

When Baojia remembers everything that she did to her when she lost her memory, Lin will beat her “heavily” to vent her anger. Lin Luoran knows she will never fight back.

Even if she can’t remember… The worst scenario is that they become friends again. They will leave Nami Star and then they have no reason to be enemies.

Lin Luoran drinks happily and contacts Xiaozhi,

“Princess Windsor is very generous and lends a castle to us for staying here temporarily. I mean, do you guys want to explore Nami Star?”

Nami Star, which is so environmentally friendly, is not less than the Earth before the New Era in terms of scenery alone.

The four people on the starship were originally anxious. Hearing Lin Luoran’s suggestion, they are all tempted but dumbfounded.

Lin Luoran said that Nami was in great trouble and asked them to rush back to Edward as soon as possible. The four of them finally boarded the ship and now the trouble is resolved? Obviously, it’s nothing to toss about.

“Hurry back! There are still some good horses in the stables of the castle. First come first served…”

Before Lin Luoran finishes speaking, she has already passed out on the table.

The four people at the end of the communicator are so anxious and they don’t know what has happened. Han Weiya finally hears Lin Luoran’s gentle breathing and sees the flasks on the table. She is dumbfounded, “Is Aunt Lin drunk?”

The four of them are all speechless.

“Aunt Lin is so… She was injured and she still drinks too much.” Ma Yiming mutters. Without any preparation, his clothes are tightly caught. The cyan little fox jumps out and grapples Ma Yiming’s neck.

“What, she was hurt? Why didn’t you tell me when you came back? ”

Ma Yiming almost gets a headache because of it. Han Weiya is unbearable and Ma Shuangshuang rescues her brother from the cyan little fox’s claws with a sly smile on her face.

“You didn’t ask us. Besides, aren’t you in a cold war with Aunt Lin?”

Cyan little fox rolls its eyes and says, “Hurry up and pack things. Han Weiya, remember to bring your alchemy furnace. This time, Master Fox will show you what real elixirs are…”

Changing the subject has always been a proud little fox’s unique skill. Both Han Weiya and Ma Shuangshuang are persuaded by it. They are busy packing up their things. All people are back to Nami on the starship again.

Xiaozhi is very anxious and says loudly that it also wants to go with them. The Edward becomes extremely lively for a while.

Four people, a fox, and a robot arrive at the barbecue restaurant in a few hours. Lin Luoran has already been sober before it is morning.

Cyan little fox awkwardly expresses its concern and Lin Luoran also acts nicely. They are on good terms as before.

It is said that quarrels can promote relationships. Cyan little fox is happy to jump on Lin Luoran’s shoulder. It keeps yearning that they have to go to the castle as soon as possible because it is too noisy here and it is not suitable for making elixirs. Lin Luoran’s injury will be very difficult to handle with further delay.

Lin Luoran has never seen that cyan little fox shows its skills. Listen! Does little fox want to make elixirs itself this time?

In the dark, these people go to the castle lent or may be sent by Windsor—it’s the manor where they went to ride horses that day. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are no other places more beautiful than this.

It’s about to dawn. Before reaching the manor, a flash of lightning pierces the sky. The muffled thunder is a step slower than the light. The weather really changes in a flash.

Sure enough, no matter where they are, thunderstorms are particularly frequent in summer.

Lin Luoran thinks of this and remembers the golden word figure given by the man in robe in her dream.

Among a few numbers of words she remembers, there is the word, “thunder”.
