With Fu You and Ma Gui, I don't think they did try to form a closer relationship. My headcanon: the Envoy was leading his own group of Dixingren before they joined the alliance, and Ma Gui and Fu You were already leading a combined/allied human/Yashou group. These two groups came together in a tentative alliance with both sides initially wary of each other, and only gradually came to trust each other. And even so, there's still plenty that Ma Gui and Fu You are keeping from the Envoy. They're holding themselves apart from the Envoy - and once they decided to keep secrets about the timeline, that secret only kept them further appart.

but not because he rebuffed any attempts - just the effects of the mask and the hood and the reputation (both his and that of Dixingren in general).
Yeah, that's mostly what I meant: passive rebuffing! But there's also the way he reacted to ZYL's approach in the HQ, that stern/unwelcoming, "You are?" (And given the context, he has reason to think this person an ally.)

Idk, this feels very chicken-and-egg to me. He's holding himself apart, too, because he doesn't expect anyone to want to get to know him. (ETA: I am probably influenced by having just wanted a Kdrama about people needing to learn, in a variety of ways, how to let themselves be loved. ;-p)
ETA: That line DQ quotes in ep 26 (If I don't kill, it's for the sake of all people; if I have to kill, it's for the sake of the whole world.) -- do you think SW said that before or after Kunlun's arrival? (IOW, when would DQ have heard him say this?)
no subject
Do you really think that was inappropriate of him?!
Regarding the line Da Qing quotes - it would make sense to me if it was before Kunlun, but after would, too.

No, not at all. I'm not saying any of this is inappropriate. But it's not the behaviour of someone trying to make connections, you know?
Regarding the line Da Qing quotes - it would make sense to me if it was before Kunlun, but after would, too.
Right. I'm just wondering what DQ and SW's relationship was like pre-Kunlun (ie, if they had one at all). Did DQ just witness SW making that statement to FY and MG, or did DQ and SW actually talk to each other at some point. That kind of wondering.
no subject
Regarding SW and DQ, I don't think they had a relatonship pre-Kunlun - I don't think Da Qing was actually close to anyone except Fu You pre-Kunlun. And I don't think SW said those words to Da Qing in either case.
