Ling San Wakes Up
As for the matter of whether or not Lin Fu felt any shame for allying himself with his nation's mortal enemy, no, he didn't. Not one single bit.
In front of eternal benefits, his national pride meant nothing. And the biggest benefit he could possibly gain right now was with Xue Bai's head on a pike.
Handing in that trash's head to the Grand Duke could literally change Lin Fu's life trajectory. Not only were the Long Clan the true rulers of the Gen Empire, but they also had mysterious backers that even the headmaster was afraid of.
Lin Fu would be stupid not to choose them.
The saying goes, A fine bird chooses a fine tree to nest in, and Lin Fu thinks of himself as an extremely smart bird.
After all, cultivation wasn't just about brawn or talent. Brains were also extremely important!
