The fact it took JYL dying in JC's arms for JC to finally turn on WWX despite all the previous "red flags", is a testament to how family oriented he is.

Most sect leaders would have dropped WWX the moment he first showed signs of "insolence". WWX "defecting" to help the sect that almost wiped his own would have been the final straw for most. And yet JC still stood by him, visited him and allowed him to see JYL in her wedding dress, despite knowing that he's now helping a group of people who either took part in the genocide of his sect or were complicit in it. All whilst knowing the risks associated with it if he and his sister were spotted still associating with a "traitor."

Even the death of his brother in law didn't push JC over the edge. There was still some hope WWX could be saved. Or that there was some sort of explanation for all his current actions that JC was so obviously yearning for.

It took the death of his sister to finally shatter all that. And even then, he couldn't truly hate WWX for it. So much so that he hated HIMSELF for the conflicting feelings that haunted him throughout the 13 year gap up until the core reveal scene and thereafter.

His character is so juicy with so much depth. He is easily one of the most interesting characters in the book for all these reasons. It's such a shame he's often reduced to "purple man mean! >:(". When we can be talking about why the "purple man is mean." He's not "mean" for nothing, after all!
