With no other man around, out of both spite and physical need, she ended up becoming involved with the League Leader, Yu Long.
From that point, Yu Long became infatuated and invited her to stay at his residence.
There, their relationship was discovered by his son, Yu Yun.
Wanting to protect his mother, Yu Yun confronted Xiao Ran and warned her to stay away from his father.
However, during their confrontation, he was unable to resist her charm and also became one of her admirers.
Xiao Ran then maintained relationships with both father and son as well as several powerful elders of the League of Independent Cultivators, allowing her to move unhindered within the organization.
But women are perceptive.
The first to notice something wrong was Yu Long's Dao companion, Fei Hongxue.
She attempted to assassinate Xiao Ran in secret, but her plan failed due to her own son interfering, allowing the protagonist to escape.
