The myths say they appear in an are where there is a wise and just leader and Parish did turn up around the same time that Scott became an Alpha despite the Neamaton being revived. Qilin are also known to bring an aura of calm to those around them and Parish has done that with a few people. They are also known to protect the innocent and turn fierce when innocent lives and threatned. There have been a few times that has happened in the show. In some depictions the Qilin is shown with parts of its body bathed in fires and in unharmed by it. One more thing that I forgot when I put this down is the fact that if they want to a Qilin can leave no trace of its presense. For example walk through a field and leave no footprint or blade of grass damaged. Its a odd quirk but remember Parrish was able to follow Peter and find Chris withought Peter or the Berserker being aware of him. I don't know about the berserker but even in his beta state Peter could have been able to tell if a human was tailing him, espesialy one who has just been clued in on the supernatural and had no training to avoid detection.

Not discounting the possibility and you may be right but there are some flaws in the points you made.

1) Parrish still felt the pain so he was harmed by the fire although he survived.

2) a. Passing without a trace as in footprints and whatnot wouldn't necessarily lend itself to a reason why Parrish wasn't detected in tracking them.

b. Parrish was in the military as well as being a deputy so I believe he probably has adequate skill for tracing stealthfully, even Peter. Hunters can do it and their human, so why wouldn't Parrish be able to since he's had training? He can.
