So my money is some combination of Da Qing and the hallows matchmaking (perhaps they are matchmaking by ensuring that all of Da Qing’s shenanigans happen at the absolute worst most inconvenient time for the previous resident, thus ensuring they loose patience and move at exactly the right time?

Hee, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing they might do. And hey, the Merit Brush and the Guardian Lantern have plenty of time on their, er, hands. :D :D :D

Yeah you could argue that they do things entirely on their own a few times in canon, but it feels much more likely they’d work through others than scare the neighbors off directly! And DQ is a wonderful agent of chaos which makes him easy to work through for this sort of thing 😆

Ha, yes. I'm not even sure how that would work. (NOT mind control!)

And he's already connected to the Hallows. \o/!

"And he's already connected to the Hallows. \o/!"

:D :D They made him immortal AND a secret Weilan matchmaker. xD

Hee! His "stop flirting in front of me!"s are just reverse psychology. :D

[facethestrange]

Hahah, that would explain why he says it when they're not flirting for once - he's reverse-reminding them that they forgot to flirt. ;D

[china_shop]

Exactly! :D :D :D
