The monster doesn't attack Jojo the second time around. It's time for Siyu to come to the rescue. He tells Ming Yang that Jojo has been poisoned by the worm. He explains that the saint wanted to replace Siyu as the pope, but Siyu kept a distance. One day, the saint came to Siyu and gave him a bouquet of flowers. Siyu was mad at him for the past couple of days because of his father's decisions, but now he wants to apologize. The ambassador brought the flowers back from Persia, and Siyu took them as a gift from the saint. He was surprised to find that they were covered in poison, but he didn't realize it at the time. He's still mad at the ambassador for giving him the flowers, and he won't forgive them.
