Yan Taibai certainly would not tell Yan Ruyan that the Yan Family Ancestor had chosen to sit in meditation and await death. Moreover, even if he wanted to, he could not; Yan Ruyan had already consumed a Foundation Establishment Pill and was in seclusion, working toward her breakthrough.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root would not need a Foundation Establishment Pill to progress through the Foundation Establishment stage. However, as Yan Ruyan had not yet reached the great circle of the 13th Layer of Qi Refining, she naturally needed the pill to initiate the process prematurely. Yan Taibai did not object to this. To him, the Foundation Establishment stage was no longer a concern.
His current priorities were twofold: first, to begin preparing for the refinement of his natal magic treasure; and second, to "die once"—to fake his death and escape this place of trouble.
