— Yin Yu[1]

Yin Yu (引玉, Yǐn Yù) is the former Martial God of the West who was later banished from the Heavens and now works for Hua Cheng as a servant and assistant. He also used to be the guardian of Quan Yizhen.[2]
Appearance[]
Yin Yu is a neat and tidy youth with a handsome, but forgettable appearance.[3] He wears black robes along with a mask of a ghost face that resembles a woeful smile to hide his identity. He also has a Cursed Shackle on his wrist.[4]
As a mortal youth, Yin Yu had bright eyes and a glowing, spirited face. With an air of bold confidence, he stood tall with a straight back and possessed an overall impressive appearance.[5]
Personality[]
Yin Yu is a kind and quiet person. He has virtually no sense of presence to the point that very few notice him when mixed in a crowd. This has worked to his advantage as it allows him to sneak by others or infiltrate areas most would have difficulty. Despite being humble and a hard worker, he has strongly mixed feelings towards Quan Yizhen and dislikes having to ever come into contact with him, even being disturbed at the mention of his name.
Yin Yu is a very loyal and humble servant and is noted by Xie Lian to be a good worker that was unfortunate enough to be banished. He admits that while he hates Quan Yizhen, when given the chance to ascend to the heavens by stealing Quan Yizhen's spiritual power, he still did not fall to temptation. He never wanted to murder him and did not want to become a God by stealing someone else's hard work. Even in his human days, it has been shown that despite being raised with a high status in a big name sect, he did not hold arrogance over his position and status and was able to recognize the worth and potential of anyone. He never believed status defined a person and that hard work was the most important.
However, he was always jealous of Quan Yizhen as Yin Yu admits that he himself was never anything special. He tried to be at least a kind and perfect person, but is aware that he wasn't able to do so. Despite sacrificing himself and being selfless, he held deep regrets and was frustrated, which Yin Yu despised about himself. Nonetheless, as Xie Lian has stated, Yin Yu is a man of truly strong moral who will not harm others for petty jealousy or steal someone else's power, being someone who is truly compassionate and just.
Trivia[]
