Biography

Becoming the Poison Hall's absent guardian

Poison Hall leaders invoke his reputation during their internal crisis. After encountering Zhang Xuan's Yang Xuan identity, Hu Yiwei is taken in as the supposed expert's butler; later headquarters discussion treats his departure as one reason the Poison Hall has become vulnerable. (Chapters 1,398–1,404, 1,427, 1,466–1,530)

Appearance and personality

He is dangerous, secretive, and pragmatic enough to submit when confronted by an expert he cannot measure. (Chapters 1,398–1,404, 1,427, 1,466–1,530)

Abilities and cultivation

His title reflects advanced poison use and the many-handed methods attributed to him. The corpus does not show those arts overcoming the superior toxin control associated with Zhang Xuan's disguise. (Chapters 1,398–1,404, 1,427, 1,466–1,530)

Relationships

His public allegiance shifts from the Poison Hall to Yang Xuan's household. The move removes a guardian from the hall and strengthens the credibility of Zhang Xuan's borrowed identity. (Chapters 1,398–1,404, 1,427, 1,466–1,530)
