Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"I want to ask, what will happen to Tang Sanzang after this?" Sun Wukong asked the question he most wanted to know.

Spark was silent for a moment, then sighed. Spoilers are not a good thing, but this monkey is just too much of a troublemaker.

If you don't satisfy his curiosity, who knows what new tricks he'll come up with to bother you.

She pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"Fine, I'll tell you. Originally, I hadn't even told Xiao Luzi about this complete script..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze put down the controller and listened intently. It was the first time he had ever seen Spark reveal the complete plan on her own initiative.

It seems they really are annoyed by the monkeys.

Sun Wukong immediately jumped off the back of the chair and sat properly opposite her, placing his hands on his knees, adopting a posture of listening attentively.

Spark cleared his throat and began to speak from the beginning.

"First of all, Tang Sanzang is the core figure of the pilgrimage team, that's beyond doubt. So the way we deal with him certainly can't be as simple and brutal as we did with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing."

Sun Wukong nodded. He didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from agreeing.

"My initial idea was to find a place where he would willingly be trapped."

Sun Wukong frowned: "Willingly be trapped? Tang Sanzang is single-mindedly focused on obtaining the scriptures from the Western Paradise, how could he willingly stay here?"

Spark's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Then let him believe it himself. He wasn't going on a pilgrimage in the first place."

She held up one finger and began to break down her layout in detail.

"It all started a week ago. The first thing I did was find a theatrical troupe in this county. The actors in this troupe all had some acting skills."

"I selected a few people from the opera troupe."

"A middle-aged male actor with a prosperous appearance played Master Chen; a female actor with a lingering charm played Madam Chen; and the remaining maids, servants, and stewards were all played by other members of the opera troupe."

"Of course, actors alone are not enough. No matter how good the acting is, sooner or later, flaws will be revealed."

"...At this moment, Xiaolu's pleasure skills gave me inspiration."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze's brow twitched slightly: "So those rumors you spread in the city..."

"Yes, I deliberately leaked that information." Spark nodded.

"The rumor is simple—a few years ago, a wealthy merchant surnamed Chen moved to this county town. He was very rich, but his only son, Chen Yi, was disobedient. To rebel against his parents' arranged marriage, he ran away from home overnight and went to a temple to become a monk. Mr. Chen was furious. He led his servants to the temple, tied his son up, and locked him up at home, forbidding him from leaving."

She paused, then added.

"The rumor had been circulating for about three or four days, and the time was ripe when people in the city started talking about it over tea and after meals."

Spark looked at Lu Ze.

"At this point, the conditions for Xiao Luzi to launch the second phase have been met."

Lu Ze nodded slowly, agreeing with her statement.

Spark clapped her hands happily.

"From then on, the city lost a theatrical troupe and gained the Chen family. The mansion that had been vacant for several years became the Chen family's residence overnight."

"The neighbors all 'remembered' that the Chen family moved here a few years ago, and that Mr. Chen was generous and Mrs. Chen was charitable."

"Even the original members of the opera troupe firmly believed that they belonged to the Chen family."

After she finished speaking, she leaned back in her chair and spread her hands.

"Tell me, when everyone around him is convinced that Tang Sanzang is Chen Yi, won't he waver? If he does waver, he will also be affected by the skill."

Sun Wukong was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "...You little girl, you're too cunning."

"That's called wisdom," Sparkle said, rolling her eyes at him. This monkey really doesn't know how to talk.

Lu Ze hadn't spoken until now, when he slowly opened his mouth, his tone complex.

"Spark, your script is indeed very cleverly designed. But I have only one question."

"What's the problem?" Spark was a little confused.

Lu Ze looked at her expressionlessly.

"You used my money to buy that house, didn't you?"

Spark's expression froze for a moment.
