Mrs. Evans let out a cold laugh.
"Master Cortez, are you determined to protect her?"
"Attacking a fellow disciple violates the sect rules, does it not?"
Joseph Cortez raised an eyebrow and looked at Jason.
"I recall Jason is an Outer Disciple?"
"What of it?"
Mrs. Evans's tone was aggressive.
"So?"
Joseph Cortez cleared his throat lightly.
"Grace is an Inner Disciple."
"It is reasonable for her to discipline an Outer Disciple causing trouble outside."
"Master..."
Jason struggled to sit up on his stretcher.
His voice was weak but filled with resentment.
"To my knowledge, she hasn't formally become a disciple yet."
"She doesn't count as an Inner Disciple at all!"
"You cannot show such blatant favoritism!"
He then looked at Mrs. Evans, his eyes reddening.
"Aunt, does the Master think the Valentines are powerful?"
"Is he deliberately bullying our Evans family?"
Mrs. Evans glared furiously at Joseph Cortez.
"Joseph Cortez, you must give us an explanation today!"
"Our Evans family is not some soft persimmon to be squeezed!"
Joseph Cortez remained calm and composed.
His demeanor was a complete contrast to his submissive attitude yesterday.
"Of course I will make it clear."
"Grace was already registered as an Inner Disciple."
"It just wasn't announced publicly."
Jason immediately shouted.
"Impossible!"
"Two months ago she was still begging me to help her join the Inner Disciple!"
"How could she have been registered long ago?"
Joseph Cortez glanced at him.
He thought to himself, that was Grace Nan, not his precious disciple Evelyn Ross!
But since his disciple wanted to use Grace Nan's identity...
Although he didn't understand her plan, Joseph Cortez would never spoil it.
Before Joseph Cortez could speak, Charles Cortez coughed.
"This matter was decided internally long ago."
"Yesterday I discussed with the Master about accepting Grace as an Inner Disciple."
"The Master should have recorded it already."
"We were just waiting for the formal disciple ceremony today."
"When she acted, she was already an Inner Disciple."
"The Master is correct!"
Before Jason could refute, Justin Evans sneered.
"We knew you would try to weasel out of it."
"We just checked the disciple registry."
"There was no new Inner Disciple registered yesterday!"
"Second Uncle, stop covering for her!"
Charles Cortez was stunned.
Mrs. Evans laughed coldly.
"Master, what do you have to say now?"
Charles Cortez and Ethan Valentine looked at Joseph Cortez.
The Third Valentine also looked on with a deep gaze...
Then they heard Joseph Cortez laugh.
"I never said it was Second Brother who accepted her as a disciple!"
"Whoever accepts a disciple must register them!"
"Since the registry has no record..."
"And the disciple roster has no name..."
"Then it is invalid!"
Jason roared angrily.
Evelyn arrived just in time to hear this.
She let out a light scoff.
She glanced calmly at the Master.
Seeing his slight nod, she immediately understood.
The identity of the First Senior Sister could no longer be hidden...
Now was the perfect time to use this identity to slap them in the face.
Seeing her enter, Jason's expression changed drastically.
He roared.
"Grace Nan, you have the nerve to show up?"
"Today you will pay the price!"
He yelled at the surrounding bodyguards.
"Seize her!"
"Beat her to death!"
"Focus on her stomach!"
"I want her to never be able to bear children!"
The bodyguards looked at Mrs. Evans.
Mrs. Evans sneered coldly.
"Since the Cortez Sect and the Valentines show us no respect..."
"We will seek justice ourselves!"
The bodyguards immediately surrounded Evelyn!
Evelyn merely raised an eyebrow.
Facing these people now, she felt no fear!
Before, she didn't know her identity.
Turns out she is the Cortez Sect's First Senior Sister.
What did she have to fear from these few people?
As she thought this, the Third Valentine strode over.
His bodyguards quickly formed a对峙 stance!
Ethan Valentine also stepped in front of her.
"Don't be afraid, little sister."
"I won't let them touch you!"
Mrs. Evans looked coldly at the Third Valentine.
"Does the Valentine family wish to make an enemy of the Evans family?"
The Third Valentine lowered his gaze.
"That Evans boy bullied my daughter."
"If I don't stand up, what face would the Valentine family have?"
Mrs. Evans took a deep breath.
"Fine."
"From today onward, the Evans and Valentine families are completely severed!"
She took a step back.
"Let's see which family's bodyguards are better!"
Joseph Cortez suddenly spoke.
"Mrs. Evans, wait."
Mrs. Evans was taken aback.
"Master Cortez wants to mediate now?"
"It's too late!"
"Unless you severely punish Grace Nan!"
"Mrs. Evans misunderstands!"
Joseph Cortez looked at Kiki Cortez.
"Quickly go gather all the disciples currently at the sect!"
Kiki Cortez was stunned.
"Ah?"
Mrs. Evans laughed scornfully.
"Two families fighting, you guarding us is useless!"
"Joseph Cortez, don't waste your effort!"
"I'll pay for the damages to the venue!"
Joseph Cortez waved his hand.
"No need, no need."
"Our own family damaging our own venue..."
"How can we let you pay for it?"
Mrs. Evans was stunned.
"Our own family damaging it?"
Joseph Cortez nodded.
"The Evans family is bullying our own family."
"The Cortez Sect never swallows insults."
He urged Kiki Cortez.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Hurry up and go!"
Mrs. Evans's face turned ashen.
"The Cortez family also wants to be enemies with the Evans family?"
"Planning to join forces with the Valentines?"
Joseph Cortez sighed.
"Not at all."
"I have always respected you, Mrs. Evans."
"How could I make an enemy of the Evans family?"
"It's just that you are bullying my disciple."
"As her master, I can't just stand by and watch."
Mrs. Evans was startled.
"What do you mean, your disciple?"
Charles Cortez was also confused.
"Elder Brother, Master..."
"Don't you only have one disciple?"
"When did Grace become your disciple?"
Ethan Valentine and Kiki Cortez exchanged glances.
Evelyn raised an eyebrow.
She heard Joseph Cortez say clearly.
"Yes, I only have one disciple."
"Your First Senior Sister is being bullied at the Cortez Sect."
"Are you all just going to stand by and watch?"
"Why aren't you going to call people!"
