Which well-known line in "Journey to the West" is the biggest flaw in the original work and cannot be justified?

As one of my country's four famous classics, "Journey to the West" has had an important impact on my country's cultural classics. Among Chinese people, everyone from children to the elderly can still remember many plots in "Journey to the West", including some classic lines. A popular saying on the Internet recently? Are you the rescuer invited by the monkey? ?It comes from "Journey to the West". This line, which is almost a household name, has a huge loophole in the original work, and there is no way to justify it.

This classic line comes from the plot where Tang Monk is caught by the red boy, and Sun Wukong and other disciples try their best to rescue him. In terms of combat effectiveness, Red Boy is no match for Sun Wukong or even Zhu Bajie. So in the head-on conflict, Red Boy retreated steadily. But Hong Haier has a special skill? Samadhi True Fire? which makes Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie helpless against him. So that Sun Wukong was seriously injured by Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire and lost consciousness. So Zhu Bajie had no choice but to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for help. The smart Red Boy had long expected that Zhu Bajie would do this, so he pretended to be Guanyin Bodhisattva on the way and waited for Zhu Bajie's arrival. Later, when Guanyin Bodhisattva followed Zhu Bajie and his party to Red Boy's formation, Red Boy actually asked him twice because he didn't know Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Are you the rescuer invited by the monkey?" ?. By now many people must have seen the problem. Red Boy doesn’t know Guanyin Bodhisattva, so why did he pretend to be Guanyin Bodhisattva to seduce Zhu Bajie halfway? Moreover, the real Guanyin Bodhisattva at that time was very angry about Hong Haier pretending to be herself, so he followed them to find out what was going on, and took Hong Haier as a doorman. This has to be said to be a mistake by the author, and there is even no way to justify it. But every secret must have its flaws. As a classic, these contradictions can also make future generations think and discuss more after reading it. This is also a very interesting thing.
