"Mr. Mu, are you sure you don't want this spirit tablet?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Hao halted and turned to look at Xiao Mu.
Compared to Daoist Qing Yan, he had more fondness for Xiao Mu.
Therefore, if Xiao Mu and Daoist Qing Yan both insisted on obtaining the peachwood from Ancestor Tao, Village Chief Hao would prefer Xiao Mu to be the recipient.
Xiao Mu refused Xu Lao Han's spirit tablet, leaving them with one less, reducing the count from five to four.
This made them one tablet short of those held by Qing Yan.
If Xu Lao Han's tablet was then handed to Qing Yan, it would then mean Qing Yan had six tablets, two more than Xiao Mu.
Though Village Chief Hao didn't quite understand how the spirit tablets attracted evil ghosts, he knew there was a difference between having four and six spirit tablets.
If the tablets truly lured evil ghosts, six tablets would likely have a greater allure than four.
