Yan Yu felt he should have an assistant.
The significance of a Golden Core assistant is akin to Zhuang Jing for Luo Ji; essentially, it is a means for the Privy Council to win over Golden Core True Men at this stage.
Especially for those Golden Core True Men who have no spouse, are not social, and have no ties or affection for worldly life—to the extent that even if they are rational and emotionally stable now, no one dares to guarantee that someday in the future they won't suddenly rebel and go insane due to depression.
The role of a Golden Core assistant is to establish enough emotional connection with the Golden Core True Man to ensure their mental state remains stable and controllable. From this perspective, if Li Zhaojiang were to tell his assistant sister, "If you don't marry me, I'll go mad," then the assistant sister would most likely have to marry him.
