Now that Elrond has seen that he is pursuing Arwen, Gao Yuan has nothing to hide.

Instead of being stubborn and refusing to admit that he loves and is pursuing Yawen, it is better to admit it openly, otherwise it will appear that he is too unmanly and does not have the courage to take responsibility.

"The moment I first met your daughter, Arwen, in Lothlorien, I fell deeply in love with her."

"Although, I don't know this feeling, maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but I know that I love her."

"I regard Arwen as the most precious treasure in my life. My love for Arwen is no less than the one Beren sought after when he wanted to grow up."

"Even if I use all the treasures I have in the future, now and in the future; I have, now, and will have in the future to exchange for this treasure, I will not hesitate, even if it means using my life."

Facing his father-in-law, what Gao Yuan has to do is to prove how much he loves his daughter.

But Elrond stood up angrily, pointing his trembling fingers high into the distance and roaring.

"You still don't understand what you want from me!"

"Arwen is not my treasure. I can give you any treasure you ask me for. Even if it is the Supreme Lord of the Rings, I can search the entire Middle-earth continent to find it for you."

"Only Yawen, my precious daughter, I cannot give it to you."

"When I hand Yawen over to you, my daughter and I will suffer the pain of separation forever."

Gao Yuan shook his head. He didn't care about the Supreme Lord of the Rings. It couldn't be eaten and it only had the function of being invisible.

"I don't need the Ring."

"I don't understand, Lord Elrond, why you keep emphasizing choice and parting."

"I didn't take Yawen away from you. Do the Valar prohibit the union between humans and elves?" Gao Yuan didn't know why Elrond was so excited.

It was as if he and Yawen were together, and the father and daughter would never be able to see each other again.

"My Arwen, she is the princess of Rivendell and Lothlorien, the Evening Star of her people, and her bloodline is extremely noble." Elrond's words were unceremonious.

"She is beyond your reach, but if she looks at you differently and falls in love with you, one of us, Yawen and I, will surely experience the pain of eternal separation between heaven and man due to fate's arrangement."

Gao Yuan retorted: "It is true that my current status may not be comparable to Yawen, but I am still young. Lord Elon, you cannot judge whether my future will be brilliant or not. No one on this continent is born noble.

"

"I firmly believe that one day in the future, I will finally stand in front of you and Yawen wearing glory, and take over Yawen's happiness from your hands."

Elrond did not doubt what Gao Yuan said that he would be clothed in glory in the future, because he now possesses powerful power that no human in Middle-earth can possess.

The quarrel between the two made Elrond know that he could not persuade Gao Yuan with words such as blood and glory.

Then, Elrond, who calmed down, began to speak calmly:

"Gao Yuan, you are a human being and your life will eventually come to an end!"

"Yarwen has spent a long time in the world. Your life, in front of her long life, is just like a small seedling growing next to a young birch that has experienced cold and heat."

"Yawen chooses to be with you. When you die, she will be entangled in the pain of life and death for countless years to come."

"If she chooses to become a mortal and live with you forever, then I will witness my daughter die in front of me, and I will taste the sadness of being separated from her forever."

Elrond is right, this is the fate of humans and the elves who have unlimited lifespan.

Just like Beren and Lúthien in the First Age.

Gao Yuan finally understood why Galadriel said those regrettable words to him in Lothlorien.

"But the ending of the story is not as happy as humans imagine."

After a long silence, Gao Yuan suddenly laughed, very happily.

Elrond was confused. He had made it very clear. He knew that Gao Yuan must also understand.

If he really loves Yawen, he will definitely choose to let her go.

But why is he smiling so happily?

Indeed, for humans in Middle-earth, there is no solution to the fateful problem that life will eventually come to an end.

However, for Gao Yuan, a time traveler who can travel across the heavens, is this still a problem?

His answer will still be the same as in Lothlorien and Galadriel.

"Lord Elrond, before you wear your honor and resound throughout Middle-earth as a knight lofty."

"I will never make a promise to Yawen easily."

Gao Yuan paused for a moment when he said this.

"As for whether I can accompany Yawen forever until the end of the war."

"Lord Elon, I cannot make a guarantee to you."

"I will try hard. My life may eventually come to an end, but I will use my short life to prove to you and Yawen that my love for Yawen will never change."

Elrond sighed, knowing that he might never be able to convince the young man in front of him.

How to try? Go to Ilúvatar or the Valar to grant him eternal life?

It is not that simple to escape the fate of human life ending.

That was the fate that Ilúvatar had personally set for mankind.

"To this day, I still don't know how Yawen feels about me."

"Lord Elrond, if Arwen and I really love each other, will you stop us?" Gao Yuan looked into Elrond's eyes.

At this time, the light in the eyes of the two arguers dimmed.

"Hey...what is supposed to come will eventually come. This is fate, right? You and I will have to wait many years before we mention this again. Dark clouds are over the city, and many misfortunes are about to come."

Elrond lamented again: "I cannot prevent fate from coming."

"Yarwen told me that she found her destiny, and the key to that destiny is you. If I can't persuade you to change your mind, then I can only hope that this destiny has already been written in the big movement,

It will be an ending that everyone can accept.”

Elrond left with sorrow and a sigh.

Elrohir, who stayed outside the door, did not hear the argument between Gao Yuan and his father Elrond inside.

Elrohir's face was filled with sadness when he saw his father leaving, which made him very confused.

Elrohir was very curious about what the two talked about, so she approached Gao Yuan and wanted to find out what they talked about inside.

Of course Gao Yuan would not tell Elrohir.

He and his father almost had a fight inside.

She wouldn't even tell him that he wanted to be her brother-in-law.

"I just discussed some details about going to Lonely Mountain, and then discussed fate." After dismissing Elrohir's curiosity, Gao Yuan returned to his room.

Little did they know, Gao Yuan and Elrond had just left.

Elrohir turned around and ran to her sister.
