What?
Everyone was stunned.
All eyes turned to Evelyn Ross.
Kiki Cortez looked around in confusion.
"Where is the First Senior Sister?"
Ethan Valentine craned his neck toward the door.
"Is the First Senior Sister here?"
This couple was truly made for each other.
Charles Cortez was the first to react.
He looked at Evelyn in shock.
"Master, she... she is the First Senior Sister?"
Ethan and Kiki turned their heads simultaneously.
Just as they were about to question it, Joseph Cortez nodded.
"Yes."
Ethan was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn't Grace Nan an outer disciple?
Mrs. Evans sneered.
"Master Cortez, you would lie like this to protect her?"
Joseph Cortez sighed.
"She really is the First Senior Sister.
How could I mistake my own disciple?"
Ethan suddenly looked at Evelyn.
He remembered the day of the Martial Arts Tournament.
"So that day, you didn't win by luck?"
Evelyn raised an eyebrow.
"Weren't you going easy on me?"
Ethan fell silent.
When had he gone easy on her?
Charles Cortez also had a sudden realization.
"No wonder during our spar yesterday, you punched me back several steps!"
Ethan and Kiki exclaimed in unison:
"Master, weren't you going easy on her?"
"Dad, weren't you holding back?"
Charles Cortez shook his head.
"Why would I hold back?
She is clearly a master!"
Ethan and Kiki were speechless.
Mr. Valentine raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of relief in his eyes.
He understood instantly.
The Cortez Sect's First Senior Sister was Evelyn Ross, not Grace Nan.
His daughter had never been ordinary.
Just then, loud sobbing erupted from the side.
Liam Lowell stepped forward, his face bruised and swollen.
"Senior Brother Jason, you see?
I really didn't go easy on her!
She's the First Senior Sister.
How could I possibly win against her?"
After the Martial Arts Tournament, everyone thought he had gone easy out of chivalry.
Jason held a grudge and had people beat him up every day.
Now the truth was finally out.
Liam cried for a moment before realizing the inappropriateness of the occasion.
Joseph Cortez walked over to the Valentine family side.
He faced Mrs. Evans.
"Mrs. Evans, this is our Cortez Sect's First Senior Sister.
She was experiencing life as an outer disciple.
She is righteous and cannot tolerate evil deeds.
Your son and nephew bullied the weak and oppressed others.
The First Senior Sister disciplining her juniors—is that excessive?"
Ethan and Kiki immediately chimed in:
"Not excessive at all!
The First Senior Sister educating us is only right!"
Joseph Cortez then looked at Jason.
"What did you do at John's house yesterday?
John's sister is mute.
How could you even think of taking advantage of her?
If my disciple hadn't arrived in time, you would have succeeded, wouldn't you?
Was her disciplining you wrong?"
Jason's face was dark.
He was already broken.
His psyche completely twisted.
Joseph Cortez looked back at Mrs. Evans.
"The Cortez Sect has already given its account.
Do you still wish to fight today?"
Mrs. Evans trembled with rage.
She pointed at Joseph Cortez and Mr. Valentine, finally landing on Evelyn.
"Fine!
What skill, young lady!
Hiding your identity to play this game!
I admit defeat!"
She glared fiercely at Joseph Cortez.
"From now on, the Evans family severs all business with the Valentines!
We end all cooperation with the Cortez Sect!
Justin and Jason withdraw from the Cortez Sect.
They are no longer disciples!"
With that, she waved her hand to leave.
Evelyn frowned.
"Wait."
Mrs. Evans turned back.
Evelyn sighed.
"The matter is clear now.
My disciplining them was justified.
Why must you…"
"Hah!
The Evans family was played for fools by you.
Was it fun?
If you had revealed your identity earlier, would I feel so humiliated?
Don't play innocent after what you've done!"
Evelyn fell silent.
She hadn't known she was the First Senior Sister at first either.
But explaining now would be pointless.
