Xu Min

Xu Min is the deputy patriarch of the Xin Mo Sect, and the arch-rival of Ge Yi. He is in charge of the sect's martial arts library.

Personality and Traits
Xu Min is a pudgy old man. His warm smile is in stark contrast with his malicious rivalry with Ge Yi. Xu Min is proud of his erudite son-in-law, Cui Jing. He is shrewd and has an eye for detail, as he could notice inconsistencies in "Ge Huaiyu" that even his father Ge Yi had overlooked. Xu Min fancies himself as a man of culture and likes to hobnob with the literati. He hosts a poetry contest in Yudu every year, but due to his poor and dubious judgement, true poets and litterateurs are reluctant to associate themselves with him. At the recent contest, Xu Min was impressed with Xie Yan's encomiast poem and declared him the victor, ignorant that Xie Yan was subtly insulting him in public.
